Default Now it won't start--again

Here we go 5 days before I leave for Run and Gun and I thinik I am having electrical problems with my MSD system.

Here are the facts:

New MSD 6AL BOX
New MSD Vibration Proof Coil
New MSD Pickup for my MSD FE Dist (dist only 1 yr old)
New Taylor 8 1/2 mm wires
New Accel 416 plugs
Battery fully charged and spins like a sob

The engines spins, I am getting plenty of fuel but my engine will not fire. However, it will start with a push. I started it after work tonight and drove a little then brought it home and parked it at the far end of my drive (wife had company blocking my garage). I put the car in 2nd gear and turned the key and it rolled about 3 feet and started. I then drove it into the garage and tried to restart it and it wouldn't start.

Question: Is there any possibility the Reluctor is bad in the dist? Is there anything else that could be causing this problem? I am totally at a loss why this is happening. Any ideas would be appreciated.


EDIT NOTE: I also have a new Dist Cap and Rotor.
