Default RE: Engine no start

No flooding, I pulled the spark plugs out and they were OK. I squirted starting fluid and still no start. I wonder if it has to do with The Eddelbrock heads or Comp Cam Extreme, or the 1.7 Roller Rockers??? I wonder if it is mechanical or electrical??? This is kicking my but!!!

If my roller rockers are on too tight, will this cause my engine not to start?

For starters a weak battery, I purchased a 1000 CA Optima battery, and that helped, The oil pressure switch was not connected, and the engine was hard to start. Now she starts with the turn of the key.
