If your getting "pops" from the exhaust, its miss firing or firing at the wrong order.. well If i understand it right.
other then that. It happen to a buddy of mine. trying to set the firing order from a SOHC to a B16. had him baffleld for about 2 hours.
I guess if all else fails OP, Try a buddies set of wires. you might be getting a spark but not strong enough.

we left the distributor loose and rotated it back and forth and still nothing. i've had a engine that was off a tooth before and it still started just didnt run right.
we are not ever getting any popping. just turning over. doesnt even sound like its trying to fire. no backfiring or smoke
