i converted everything in my 89 civic to obd1 and got the conversion harness, put the 4 wire 02 sensor on, rewired the 0bd1 dizzy so it plugs into the obd0 harness, and ran vtec and all of that crap...but it still wont start... what could possibly be wrong? it probably could be a lot of things but just start sayin some things

You should still check the compression.

nope. cyclinder #1 is closest to the timing belt. cyclinder 4 is closest to the distributor. and the firing order is 1-3-4-2.
