HELP with tpi

Well i just completely rebuilt my 86 305 TPI with step 3 mods. Just got it together yesterday and set the tps sensor iac sensor and it wont stay running. Starts but spits and sputters and will not run on its own. Fuel Pressure is good Spark is good. All new sensors, compresions is good, what am I doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Sounds like a timing issue. Try moving the distributor cap around while starting it. Make your you disconnect the timing advance connect deal on the passenger side firewall.
