Puzzled in Salem Missouri!

How can I fix my 1987 Mazda 626 Car?
It jumped time and I adjusted the adjuster on it.
But, it busted the distributor cap and rotor bug.
I replaced all that. I timed it to what I think the specifications were. But, I can't get it started. I had someone tell me they thought it was loosing compression now. Got any ideas?

When setting the timing marks you can't just set them... you have to be at top dead center on number one cylinder on the compression stroke. take spark plug out and put finger over hole. turn crank till you feel air coming out the hole. set piston at it's highest point and then make sure timing marks are alinged properly. do a compression check after... if no compression, it may be an interference type engine which means the valves slammed into the piston and either bent them or put a hole in the piston.
Hope this helps.
