    The reason is that the T-chain is not matching with the engine.

    Did you line up the marks on the old assembly before you removed it? That way you don't have to turn anything to put the new one on. If you turned the crank and cam after disassembly, you might be half a turn out on the distributor. Swap all the wires directly across the cap from where they are now, it should fire up.
