1986 Iroc z28 ran out of gas and won't start now

Alright, so my Iroc ran out of gas and it wouldn't start after. So I figured I blew the fuel pump and I replaced it with a Walbro 255 and now I have enough psi in the fuel rail. So I figured it was th e timing because the car sounds like it's about to start, but then it back fires. So today I check the timing, and the TDC marks line up on the chain. It also has a double roller so no way in hell it's the chain anymore aha. The rotor on the distributor is pointing at spark 1 too. So now I have no idea what the problem is.... I've replaced the sparks and wires too. Could the injectors be clogged? One the bright side now I can install a bigger cam, water pump, and fix my oil leak from my timing cover aha so yay on that!

What about spark? Bad ignition module possibly?

I'm getting spark too, I'm thinking maybe my fuel injectors are clogged up or something.
