Default Engine swap problem with starting

I have a 1990 honda civic cx hatchback. I purchased a 1992 si vtech engine, the enging went in ok, and it wants to start but it just won't fire. I had to get a new distributer to go with the engine, and to do this you have to change the wiring to it from a 5 pin setup to a 7 pin setup. I'm just wondering if I messed up the wiring. I'm getting spark but the engine just won't go. Does anyone know the wiring that needs to be done for it. its a change from a 1990cx distributer to a 1992 si vtech distributer.

did you plug in the fuel injector harness, or what about the coil? check for loose wires or grounds that arent hooked up
