Need Help! Crank no start

My spark plug wire grounded out onto my headers and i believe i flooded the engine. Im not really sure why its not starting.. i managed to get 4 of the 8 plugs out (including the plug that was grounded out). they seemed fine but i replaced them with new ones anyways. But for some reason the car is still not starting. not getting really any kind of spudder either, just a little pop every now n then. I have fuel pressure and fuel in the cylinders, checked that by cleaning a plug, cranking the engine, and looking at it. had a film of fuel on it. Checked spark at the spark plug by grounding it out on the engine. So im kinda stumped of why its not starting or even tryin to start. Any ideas?

I think its something more serious in your ignition, If the one wire grounded out it will still fire all other 7 cylinders.

Got some more specs on engine? TPI/Carb, elec/non distributor?

Its a stock 350 TPI. Only mods are 3" exhaust system and 24# injectors.

I have melted my wire onto the headers before .. but it just ran on 7 cylinders last time. Now it wont startup for some reason.

The motor is BRAND new .. only has like 4k miles on it. Its a jasper Remanufactured 4 Bolt.
