I think the firing order is 1-4-3-2. Did you see the engine running prior to fitting it? Was the shell an mpi shell or have you had to fit the fuel pump+fuel pump relay+wiring yourself?
double check the fuel rail connections as logic doesn't always work here. The one under the fuel reg is return, straight into rail is feed.
