Im stumped! Truck wont start

Went to start my 69 C10 with 350 crate engine and it wont start. Acts like I have plug wires crossed. Ran perfectly yesterday. Only work since yesterday was replacing valve cover gaskets. I have checked the plug wiring firing order 6 times and it is correct. Truck has an HEI about 6 years old. Will pull cap off tomorrow. Between now and then though I would see if anyone had any thoughts on what could be the problem.

Make sure all wires are seated at the cap and at the plugs

Knocked the Bat wire loose from the HEI when I changed the valve cover gasket on the drivers side. DUH!
