1990 v6 3.0 - trouble starting

Need help!
Have 1990 v6 3.0 4x4 pickup and just recently had a new clutch and flywheel installed. Drove around 300 miles stopping and starting serveral times in one day. Next day the engine will not start. Could the new clutch installation be part of reason for not starting or something else?
The engine cranks but will not start.
Thanks in advance.

Was this the first extended trip you've taken in a while? If so, you may have simply turned up a new issue.

Did they pull the transmission to install the clutch or did they pull the engine (can't imagine why they'd pull the engine~)?

Try cycling your clutch bypass switch to the left of the steering wheel, then try again.

Otherwise, you're reduced to working through the old air, spark, fuel, compression routine.
