Is your no start condition new. Did this happen after the ignition parts change?

No it started before I changed and the cap and rotor button looked a little rough but I got it to start and drive home and when I went to change to reverse it shut off and wouldn't start again doing the same thing it was before

Take your cap off and inspect everything to make sure everything is sitting right, then redo your plug wires just incase. I wanna guess the firing order is off

I'll check everything again I didn't change firing order and it's been running perfect until today

Went out this evening and left the truck on the battery charger and it tried to start so I pressed the gas down a little bit and it started up and ran and had what looked like a lot of fuel smoke coming out of the exhaust upon startup maybe where it had tried flooding out from not starting?
