Can you please provide more info:

- Engine type and if possible VIN
- Type of injection (TBI or CPI)
- What has been changed?
- How has the harness been setup? (But you have spark and fuel so it seems to work basically at least)

First thing to check in my opinion - ignition cable setup. Make sure the right cable goes to the right cylinder.
