Well gave her a try. No joy. Tunes over ok but not catching, even backfired on me. Never did that before.
Decided to catch up on my online course while a wait for anyone to offer ideas.
Was thinking out of time but I know that's correct. Double checked the coil and plug connections as well.
Took off fuel rail cap and it seemed to be under pressure when removed.

Sounds like out of time... Do a thorough double-check. Remember that the camshaft only goes around once for every two revolutions of the crankshaft.
Make sure your rotor is screwed on at the right place (at TDC it should be pointing to the lower right - which is the #1 plug).

Will check it all again. Then check the rotor.

Double checked TDC. Double checked rotor ponting to number 1 wire, lower right.
Swapped in another rotor just to see.
All the same story.
Opinions welcome.

If you turn the engine over by hand with a wrench, does it feel like it has normal compression? And or, when it's cranking, does it sound like the compression is causing the right amount of resistance?
Not only does the spark timing have to be about in the right place, but the fuel/air charge needs to be compressed the right amount... I'm wondering if the valve stems are a bit too long one one of your sets of valves... and they're being held open a tiny amount.
(I suppose you could also do a compression test).
You do have the plug wire firing order going in a clockwise direction on the distributor?
Coil wire fully plugged in?
Injector plugs fully connected?
Manifold gaskets are fresh?

Not ready to think about valves stems being wrong, but will look into it.
Coil firing in correct order clockwise.
Need to double check connections etc tomorrow. Coil wire in good checked it three times.
Will check out a compression tester from Autozone.
Heading to Fort Knox this weekend, was hoping to take the 944. Not looking to promising right now.

When I got done with my T-belt replace, we went to start it and got the same deal, turning over but wouldn't catch. Turned out the AFM wasn't plugged in. Doubt thats you're issue but its usually something stupid when you've been super thorough about all the complex stuff and its late at night etc... Good luck!!
