Crank No Start

Help!
I recently replaced the battery and alternator on my 91 Toyota pickup (converted into a class c RV by leisure Odyssey). In the process of replacing the alternator, I needed to remove the distributor to get the alternator out/back in. When I put everything back together, it cranks but won't start.

​​​Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Does the distributor rotor turn when the engine turns over? When the crank is set at TDC, is the rotor pointing a few degrees before the #1 plug post? (or 180° away, as there are two TDCs per revolution of the distributor). Did you follow the directions on re-installing the distributor (the drive gear is a helix, so the match-marks take the twist into account).

I haven't checked the distributor rotor while turning the engine over yet. After setting the crank to TDC the last time, I removed the distributor cap and noticed the rotor might have been just at or after #1 plug. I thought I re-installed the distributor correctly but, its possible I missed something.

Thank you so much for the video. I want to install a 22E distributor but I don't know how can I install it.

Edit: I installed it.
