Where did you set the timing? If it's set too retarded, it could act like this.

Did you check to see if the plugs were fouled? Cranking it with the gas pedal to the floor (only floor it while cranking - be ready to let off as soon as it starts) will shut the injectors off, which helps dry the plugs.

Otherwise, you're going to have to check fuel pressure and injector pulsing. You can run Jrichker's Cranks but no-start checklist in the Useful Tech sticky.

Good luck.
