What do the spark plugs look like? If you soaked them with raw gas, they may not be firing.
If it ran OK and then went south, that's usually something in the fuel system, either too much gas or not enough gas getting to the cylinders. Can you check fuel pressure?

I checked timing while cranking engine didn't see anything at pointer. So I have placed engine at TDC I am either right on TDC or 180 degrees off. SO I am going to pull NUMBER #1 and put a compression guage on it and make sure I get engine true TDC and then check cam markings.
I have been fighting fuel problem on this car since I got it. replaced fuel pump, fuel filter, gas tank, fuel distributor, and return line. Car was last running well but very rich my return line was clogged ren new hose bypassing clog. I think I might have overeved motor when trying to adjust air fuel mixture. I just replaced the fuel distributor but it didn't make any difference. The main thing now is I can't get it to run even with just ether in intake manifold. When before I corrected all the fuel problems if I put gas in intake it would fire right up and run for a short while it does not do that anymore.
Got another control module on way but don't think that's the problem since I have spark and my dwell when cranking is right at 30 degrees.
I may have fuel problem but I need engine to run on ether first before I can even think of correcting a fuel problem don't you think so. I can check fuel pressures I did was getting enouht pressure at injectors and control pressure was low .5 bar then climbed as I cranked engine.
