Default Updated spider ***'y installed, won't start, no fuel to #3 cyl

Problems started in this thread. Replaced the spider today. Got it all back together and it wouldn't start. It cranked just fine. Then I remembered that I didn't connect 1,3, and 5 spark plug wires. Reconnected, and it still wouldn't start. Pulled the plugs and they were fouled(NGK's). Replaced them with my e3's, still won't start. Plug #1 and 5 were fouled and reaked of fuel. #3 was dry and barely smelled. I've hit a wall here. The only thing I know to do is pull it all back apart and start over. Anyone have a suggestion? Thanks!

did you make sure the plug wires are installed correctly on the cap?

If you take the upper plenum back off and have someone turn the key to the On position, watch for fuel and see if there are any leaks

After talking to my instructor today, that seems like the next move. Then check to make sure each injector is actually spreaying.
