Chevrolet S-10 Distributor Problem

Started misfiring.(turned on and ran before I messed with it.) Changed. Distributor cap, rotor and wireset. Won't turn on now. Is my timing off? When I try starting I get a few pops.?? I aligned the rotor with crank I don't know if I'm 180 off? And does it matter the length of wires??? I have a few short and a few long and a few med. Size.
