I have the engine back in the car and I've connected all the wiring, fuel lines and vacuum hoses. The engine turns over but sputters and won't start. I have spark, fuel, but have not checked the fuel line pressure. One thing I noticed when connecting my wiring harness, the injector plugs and the MPS plug have chamfers for, I assume, one way fit. But mine will just as easily plug in either way. Can someone direct me to a photo, detail, or description of the right orientation?

I sprayed some starter fluid in the throttle valve, cranked it and it ran for 20 sec. Then backfired out the top. Did the same thing, 3 times. Inside the throttle valve it was wet with fuel. Appears to have a bad timing issue. I adjusted the valves, but I didnt move the distrbutor when the engine was out. What else? What is the trigger point connector?
