Don't panic.  There's no reason to back up to square one, but there 
is probably good reason to carefully retrace your steps looking for 
something you disturbed.  Look for wires put back in the wrong 
places.  Check timing with an inductive timing light (each cyl, if it 
flashes then there was a spark.)  Do you hear each of the usual relay 
clicks inside the car when you turn the key on?  Is the fuel pump 
running for a second when you turn the key on?
