If you replaced the distributor, and did not place index marks on the distributor and mounting bracket, then the timing is likely way off. Most shade tree mechanics end up retarding the timing too much. Follow my previous instructions on how to advance the timing, after placing index marks on the distributor and mounting bracket. The engine should start, if you do this. If you didn't apply the silicone heat transfer compound to the back of the new ICM, however, you may have ruined it. I can set the timing on most Honda's of your vintage very close by ear.
