Help Deer Problems 1972-108-450 Will Not Start

I have a 1972-280SE-450 that will not start or run. The coil wire has spark, the sparkplugs have spark. I disconnected the fuel lines at the fuel rails and both sides have pressure. I trird to start the engine a number of times and then I pulled 2 spark plugs and they are dry. When I try to start the engine it turns over good and once in a while makes some slight poping noises. I have removed the air cleaner assembly. Does that make any difference. The car hit a large deer going about 70mph on the Interstate on the front passenger side. Destroyed the right front fender, right headlight, right fog light, hood, grill, radiator, condensor, aux. fan, engine fan and the radiator cradle from the right side fender clear over near the left fender. A electronic item that might be a computer that is almost behind the right side fog light was pushed back about 3 inches. Their is also a electronic device on the front left side almost behind the left side fog light. It was also moved a couple inches. If it is one of these devices can I take them apart and check for damage??? Any help will be appreciated. As soon as we put the final coat of 158(white-gray) paint on and reinstall a grill it will look almost like a new car.. Jim
