If its kicking it may not be this, but the hall effect generator in the distributor goes out in these so check for spark with a timing light. And don't just look at the light, point it at the fly wheel and make sure its pulsing when it should. That fooled me for days.
Could be your AMM also. Disconnect it and try starting the car. I had a bad junkyard AMM that would not allow the car to run but if I unplugged it, the car went into limp home mode and would at least run, badly.
Don't forget the obvious like plugs and wires and rotor cap and button.
And you will want to upgrade to the later model timing chain tensioner if you hear any slapping from the timing chain on the cover.
