Wont Fire

Alright folks i know people are tired of hearing this same questiong but here it is. My 1985 TPI 305 TA was running fine all morning today. Drove from Marion Ohio to Toledo Ohio(home) car ran fine. Pull in Driveway shut car off everything was fine. Go back out to car no more then 35 minutes later and it just turns and turns but wont fire. I let it sit in the shade for 4 hours hoping its head soak. NOPE. I replaced coil and its still doing the same thing. Had the coil figured id change it at a long shot. The car just still sits and turn but wont fire at all hot or cold. Im totally stumped here folks. The starter sounds strong and doesnt sound like its drowning out so im not too worried. I checked to see if the fuel rail had pressure it does but not exactly sure the psi. THe fuel pump prims whit the key on so i dont think thats the problem. I just dont know if i have no fuel getting it or if something has gone horribley wrong. New control module goes on tomorrow. anybody else got any new ides. The car gave worked fine, shut off, now wont start HELP PLEASE

YES

Yeah i checked for spark twice its there alright. Fuel pump primes. So ill work on getting fuel pressure numbers to find out for sure. The shrader valve at the fuel rail pumps out fuel so i know its in the rail but will get PSI soon. Anyone else please keep ideas and thoughts rolling in.

THINK ME FOUND IT


Alright after deciding to take apart the distributor and cap and go to the control module, my rotor inside the cap has broken at the bolt, only being held by one. Well apartently get this the rotor then come swinging around inside the cap scaring the prongs and the warping the rotor point like you wouldnt belive. getting some pics here to kinda help out my description.
