Did you have fuel and spark when you first attempted to crank it? If you had fuel and no spark at first you may have washed out the cylinders with fuel. (flooded) If the engine is flooded remove all 4 spark plugs, remove fuel pump relay, and turn over engine several times to exhaust fuel from cylinders. Reinstall spark plugs, and and relay and attempt to crank. If this does not work, check your compression and see if you have good numbers across all 4 cylinders. (this is based on the statement that you have verified timing, spark and fuel)
does it spit, pop, bark, or do anything besides just crank over?
yea but if they werent in the right order it would at least start and just run like crap

Not true at all depending on which way they are hooked up it will just crank and crank... And the ground on the thermostat does run through the tower plugs it has about 6 black wires on it just make sure it has a clean connection..
