Plenum Done, Now No Start...

you wouldn't happen to have a "no bus" in the odometer display? i had that and it was a missing ground at the power steering bracket.
got all the injectors plugged in?
tps and iac plugged in at throttle body.
if you press the gas pedal does it change anything?
does a nice shot of starting fluid help any?
oops, just noticed you said no spark.
feel around the distributor cap and find the cam position sensor wire. make sure its not pinched under the intake.
do the same with the crank position sensor on passenger side bell housing.

Ok, so I found the crank position and cam position sensors and related plugs/wires, of course no issues. I unplugged and re-plugged in those as well as all spark plug wires and ignition wire. All were/are seated properly. Still no spark..
Going out on a limb here is there any chance that the water pump bolts could interfere with the timing chain? I know I have the bolts in the correct locations but curious if there could something there.. When the truck is turning over it is curiously quiet (e.g. no lifter noise). Is there a quick and easy way to see the the cam is spinning short of removing a valve cover or dist. cap?

Well, really bad news... I pulled the cap off the distributer and had a good look at everything. Just for kicks I had my wife give the ignition a hit just to put the thought of "real bad things" to rest and unfortunately it became the worst case scenario. The rotor does not spin when cranking the engine over..
This said I am going to assume the timing chain broke or something as such. I assume the worst at this point; heads, affected pistons, valves, etc...
I really need a drink right now....
