NO START! NEED HELP

87 350 tpi. Parked then went to start and it wouldn't fire. Had no spark, replaced ignition control module , still no spark, bought a new accel distributor. Dropped it in and I have spark now. Problem is it wont fire! Replace fuel pump and regulator and fuel filter. Im so close to giving up. This car is my pride and joy and its not longer joyful. Please help. Any legit ideas let me know. Yes iv checked the relay for the fuel pump. Injectors checked out at 16 ohms solid.

Can you hear the pump turn on when you turn the key forward?

Re: NO START! NEED HELP

Was the timing set correctly after the new distributor install? Does it sound like it is trying to start?

Re: NO START! NEED HELP

Thats why im thinking its now became a fuel problem. My manual says the injectors are supposed to read 11-14 ohms. Mine are running 16 ohms with key turned to on position. Im thinking my fuel pump assembly is the problem. Went to junk yard ripped out two in tank assembly that I think were for carberated because the fuel pump isn't in the tank. Question can i run a 12 volt pump on the outside of tank AMD use the assembly I found?

Re: NO START! NEED HELP

Did you by any chance check the injectors when they're hot?
