set timing 2 days ago, now no spark 200 1983

I set the timing on my 1983 240 2 days ago. It was running fine since, but then today while driving it, the engine just cut out. I can turn the motor over with the starter, but the plugs are not firing, a timing light proved that.
I thought it was the belt the way it just suddenly stopped running, but the cam turns with the starter. The fuses by the drivers knee all look good. I am thinking I must have messed something up the other day.
Any idea on where to start?
