Ok. Fuel, air, spark, timing. First start basic, Take the intake off spray starter fluid in the throttle body. Next try a second set of wires, Don't have any? Put a screw driver in one of the wires and lay it across a near ground, check for spark. Next pull the plugs, clean them off try to start. Still no? Pull the valve cover and timing cover, make sure you didn't jump a tooth. Then move further into fuel, pull the plugs put a tiny bit of gas into the cylinder, plugs back in and try to start. PM me for more help

i did put a screw driver in the plug and layed it across the ground and there wasnt any spark i was thinking that maybe it could be a ignition switch but not sure

Ok so the problem is ignition, Lucky. Have you tried different wires? Check the rotor and dizzy again, then the ignition switch

I checked all fuses they are all good
I hear this^ all the time from people who have blown fuses.

The main relay gets voltage from the ignition switch via 15A dash fuse 24. Turn the key to ON(II) and check whether installed fuse 24 has battery voltage to body ground on BOTH top test tabs (click the Fuses link in my signature).
