Crank no start

Hi this is my fist post. I have a 1986 f150 351w carb. I have just put in a new intake manifold and valve covers in it. After taking out smog pump and putting new radiator in it I have a crank no start. It is getting gas. I am thinking it is spark or I did not install the distributor in same spot? I did put new plugs and wires. It was running fine before this was just leaking oil. Any help woud be great thank you.

Double check what you did. As I remember the firing order is different for the 351 compared to a 302.

I had an 86 302 F150 for a while and it had a weak ignition module. I think the ignition modules fail because they are right behing the radiator and get very hot.
