Won't crank, as in, the starter doesn't roll the engine over? Or won't fire, as in the starter rolls the engine, but the engine doesn't start?

No sir and it has plenty of pressure in the fuel line so I know fuel pumps working and the relay⁰.... I've got a cheap scanner that says timing advance is -64% is that what it should say

Likely one of your sensors isn't plugged in, or has failed. If the engine ain't turnin', advance goes to default value. See what it says while the engine is cranking.

What components did your timing kit consist of?
Do you still have the old sensors? What brand sensors and plugs are you running?
Have you verified that you are getting spark?
