The engine won't fire up...is the timing off?

[Stang_ROTY]

My engine won't catch a idle and I do have spark (plugs are gapped at .0050 per MSD) and fuel (pressure is set at 40 psi). I am hoping it is just a timing problem. I remember my engine builder saying that he couldn't see the black lines I made with paint at the 0 and 10 degree marks on the damper with his timing light as I was inside the car turning the key. If he can't see the timing marks with the light than the timing must be off, right? Did he put the ditributor in wrong? Also, what is the SPOUT connector (sits right next to the TFI distributor module) and how does it effect engine operation?
