Engine In - Won't Start

Finally got around to putting my engine back in and it won't start. While out I did basic oil leak work, installed new plugs, ignition wires, and Steve W chip. Rechecked the firing order and everything seems fine. Is there a common area to start looking in? All electrical connections seem back in place.

check your 14 pin connectors for wear. I had to rewire one of mine.

If you remove the reference&speed sensor bracket and forget to reset the sensor to tooth distance to 0.8mm the car won't start. Don't ask me how I know this...

She's running. A few of the electrical connectors weren't seated correctly. You know the ones, they have that stupied square metal locking clip. Thanks, for the help.
