I changed out to a hei distributor and will not start , not sure i have distributor in correctly and wires to correct cylinders for firing order

If you are not sure you have to get the #1 cylinder on TDC and then check if the rotor is pointing to the #1 terminal in the distributor cap.
Where are you getting power to feed to the BAT terminal of the distributor?

 

[Burt71gtx]

From the battery

When i get # 1 cylinder at tdc , how do i get the rotor pointed toward #1 on the distributor?

How are you turning off the power to the BAT terminal if it is directly connected to the battery?
The power has to come from a switched 12V source.
You have to pull the distributor and install it so the rotor is pointing to #1.
Did this distributor come with instructions?

HEI Conversion

Power comes thru the ignition switch, unfortunately there is no instructions with the distributor

Did you read the link I gave you on the post above?
You need a full 12V for HEI, the stock wire on the positive terminal does not supply 12V from the switch because it is a resistance wire.
Did you run a new wire from the switch?
