HELP! My truck won’t start!

[Truck82]

So… my truck won’t start. I did a tune up today (cap, rotor, spark plugs. Didn’t mess with the carburetor because it won’t start) put everything back together and it doesn’t want to fire. Cranks over and back fires through the carburetor but won’t start up. I am not experienced in troubleshooting and know nothing about electrical issues. Any help, advice, or possibilities would be greatly appreciated!

First is you did put the/a rotor back on before the cap (I've done it plenty of times)?

Second I would inspect the connections at the cap. I've had trouble before with them pushing the terminals either out of the plug or up into the cap and not making connection or an intermittent connection.

Carbon button in place under the coil?

I assume it was running before the tuneup?

The truck ran great before the tune up.

Yes the rotor was put on before the cap.
(I’m going to assume I put it on correctly)

Carbon button? Not sure what this is, I’ll be honest. Is the picture attached the carbon button? If so, yes it’s in but if its installed correctly I don’t know.

I will check the connections and make sure the spark plug wires are in the right order (for the 10th time)

Honestly I’m kind of mad about the whole thing. I was being cheap and bought the cheapest parts I could find. When they showed up in the mail they looked like toys and not something I would want on my truck. So maybe it’s the parts just not working? Sorry to drag you into my personal problems

Thanks for the tips

Double check your firing order. Make sure you didn't switch some wires or move the whole set over a terminal.

I’m thinking I might have moved them over a terminal. Is there any way I can check which one the no. 1 cylinder should be on without removing the valve cover to look at when the valves are closed?
