ok well found out when it died the spark plug wire going from coil to dizzy was not on tight just sitting there but it still didnt help to reinstall it any thoughts
 
Maybe now you fouled out the spark plugs by cranking a lot without starting. Take the plugs out clean them with spray start if they are wet. If they are old or the gap is over 0.045", put new ones in. Should be 0.035"gap.

If you don't want to do this, you might try disconnecting the fuel injectors and cranking with the throttle down to the floor. It might clear out the plugs.
