360 Engine cranks but won't start

so look at where the rotor is pointing...put the cap on and mark whichever tower the rotor is pointing at. That will need to be #1 cyl wire.

Well I tried to start it last night. It was a no go. I had it hooked up to the old ignition coil. Before when I tried the new ignition coil I got load a** backfire this time I did not. I need help. I cant figure this out for the life of me. I will work on it again tonight.
