So I replaced the distributer oring. I thought everything was smooth until I tried to start it, car got about one crank then completely lost power. My obvious guess is that I lost the timing but i don't think it would cause the car to have a complete loss of power would it? I can't even put my windows up and its a brand new battery. Maybe a fuse or a relay. If anybody can give me some advice so I can start trouble shooting I would greatly appreciate it.

Is anything really that important?
I do agree about looking for a wiring fault, i know my wire shield started falling off last time i adjusted my timing.

This is a tech section and your wandering off in la la land. Stop.

If you read the post he said he cant even roll windows up. That has nothing to do with timing. No power no start.

Exactly, no power. I'm currently going through all my fuses so when I finish that, I'll update

Start with a multimeter and checking for power from the battery and on the little wire that goes from battery to fuse box.
