If you have fuel and you have fire it should start. If it doesnt then I would still suspect that the timing is off. Does it backfire when it is turning over??
I hate trying to set the timing on a 2.3 from scratch.

Just keep bumping the timing by a degree or two until it fires and then you can fine tune it once it is warmed up and idling decent.
Its not near as bad on a stock engine as it is on a modded engine like yours.

I would make sure that your timing belt has not slipped. I had a similar issue one time where my timing belt had slipped a few notchs somehow and I could not get my engine to start, although at times it appeared to almost fire up.

Do you have the timing marks or are you using the string method? Best bet may be to find btdc and start from scratch.
