Default Engine Help

Ok guys,
Everything is back together after the great disaster. With the cam gear on the distributor and cam gear also being wiped out, I started the replacement process when I thought everything was fine and tried to start it up, I washed out the cylinders. At least 6 of the 8 that is. So I completely tore the engine down and found that the 6 of 8 were blowing by so badly because all of them had busted top rings. Some of them had two breaks in them. So anyway with everything put back together I tried to start it. No such luck.
It is turning over and with the headers off I can see most all of the cyl. fire. But it doesn't want to catch and go. I have checked everything that I can think of and we have gone over it many times but still no luck.

Please give me your suggestions or comments on what you think that I may have missed or may need to check on. It is a carbed 351w with painless wiring.

Anything is appreciated, I am at my wits end, just someone new with something and maybe I can figure out what the missing link is.
As always, Thanks,
Todd
