Fire through tbi after distributor change

made two post the other day about problems with the car running bad and discovered the distributor was bad and the rotor was barely hanging on and burnt up. so I changed them. now when i turn the car over im getting fire through the top of the tbi. I did put the shaft in with the rotor lined up pointing to the #1 cylinder. any suggestions??

Re: Fire through tbi after distributor change

Did your fuel injector connectors look like this afterwards? Just curious. Was wondering what happened to mine.
