Default put on head, now no spark

Hey guys i just re-installed the head after replacing some bent valves, now the car wont spark, we tried putting a screwdriver in the coil stick to see if it would spark but its not sending out a spark at all. We checked the ground and all the sensors and they seem fine. What is weird is that my interior dome lights arent working either. But we checked all the fuses as well and they were fine.... what can it be?

also for some weird reason the BRAKE light stays on even when the e-brake is down, it almost blinks when i put it up though.

and i just realized when the alarm is armed, i unarm it, and then enter the car, about 3 seconds later the horn beeps 3 times. is there some kind of security? my car has the factory alarm. i already entered the code into the radio if that counts.

batterys fine, although the headlights don't dim when trying to start and I read in the manual that they should. I can't think of anything else besides the fuses.

would putting the wrong cam on the wrong side cause this? maybe cause it to be out of timing? but this still wouldn't explain the dome lights going out and the horn going off

Cam timing, I'd put money on it.

s2k will not fire if the cams are 1 tooth off.

Make sure the ground on the back of the cylinder head is attached.

the ground was the first thing i did before putting the head on.

Its probably the cam timing like billman said, but why would my interior dome lights not be working? and the alarm going all haywire?
