Default truck wont start after installing new cap and rotor

hi, i just installed a new cap and rotor and spark plugs/wires on my 85 sierra and now the dang thing wont start, i made sure all the wires are going to the right cylinders but it may have something to do with the cap since it has little push screws you push down and turn to lock it in. i believe the cap may be out of position so i keep messing with it but it still doesnt want to work, its got H.E.I electronic ignition too which makes it a little tougher to mess with, if you have any suggestions, help i could use that would be great thank you.

lessee...85..

you have to move the coil to the new cap...how about that silver dogleg piece under the coil?..did you transfer that?

Be SURE the connectors are in the right hole...the orange wire goes to the B+,not the tach hole
