i have a 316 with an 318 engine, it's the old dizzy and carb version and i'm having trouble getting it to idle

yesterday i replaced the dizzy, making sure i marked it all up and it was running fine, i then drove it to work this morning (30+ miles) and it was running absolutely fine but now for some reason it won't idle, i start the car up it revs up then cuts out

would this be down to timing or something else?
