very few drops at injectors while car cranking

I cracked the line that goes to the cold-start injector and fuel sprayed out. I cracked a line going to cylinder 5 and a few drops ame out while the car was being cranked. The car suddenly will not start. The fuel pump is working; I can hear it. The car has spark. I poured some gas into the throttle body/air flap (?) and it didn't even try to fire. SO I'm pretty sure that my problem lies somewhere with the f. distributor, what do you fine gentlemen think?(420SEL)
Thanks
David

If the car has spark(reaonably timed), putting fuel into the engine intake should elicit some response from the engine. Why do you suspect the fuel distributor before exploring the other sources!
Could all the plugs be soaked with raw fuel and can not fire ? Pull a plug and check!

I suspect the distributor because not mcu gas is getting to the injectors. I will pull a plug, I just need to find a socket that will fit.
Thanks
