Check that the fuel hoses have been connected the right way round the high pressure supply hose is the one with the fuel filter on it and should deliver its fuel to the front end of the fuel rail.

The return hose comes from the rear of the rail adjacent to the fuel pressure regulator and connects to the return hose back to the tank.

Check all of the electrical connections including the cam cover grounding strap without this you get no spark!

It may not be a fuel problem Try a small shot of starting ether in the air intake. If it starts quick and shuts off it's a fuel problem but if it doesn't start start it's electrical.
