91 Camaro 305 Crank but won't start

Hello all, as the title reads my Camaro won't start. I'd like to make mention of the things that have been replaced. New battery, new spark plugs, new starter, new ignition coil and ignition control module. Me and a buddy have undertook fixing this up as it was my father's. We are unsure of where else to look at the moment. The security light was on until we replaced the ignition control module and now it has gone off but no start. We've tried using starter fluid to try and see if it will start but nothing. If anyone has any ideas of directions for where to look next it would be greatly appreciated and I would be happy to answer any other questions.

​​​​​​Thanks!

Could have jumped time -- happened to me on a 305 before, sprockets on timing gear had completely disintegrated, car would just crank and crank, but never start. Had to tear down the whole front of the engine to find this though.

Sounds like the pickup coil in the dist. If so, best to just replace the whole dist.

Update: got it to start, this might not be the answer you are looking for if you were like me and had the same issue, but go try actual starting fluid, it started. That's what it was
