Help /advice needed !

[slugish]

Just attempted to crank my truck after my 1st time do it yourself head & cam change . Problem is --won,t crank --starter turns it over fine but won,t fire . What i did : *lined mark on crank sprocket & mark on cam sprocket 6 oclock & 12 oclock like i was told for valve timing. * got # 1 cylimder to top dead center ( just put screwdriver in plug hole when pressure started building & quit turning crank when piston was all the way up ) * timing tab set at zero was right on the mark on the harminic balancer . * then i put the distributer in with the rotor pointing to # 1 plug wire.

What do i need to do now . Did have to use my shop vac to suck the gas up to the carb (is that normal having to do that ? > would not come up till i did that . Gas is squirting in my 750 holley now . Should i try moving the distributer around while my starter is turning it over or not ?
Did i do something wrong in lining the marks up for valve timing . Any help greatly appreciated !
