Did you change the coil? I can be emitting a spark, but a weak one that won't fire.
Opti/plug wires in correct order?
Fuel valve should be 39psi or higher.
It can't be much, as long as you have timing.

Plug wires were checked, incorrectly installed, then double and triple checked to ensure they were on right (my friend screwed the pooch the first time).
The coil was almost new before it went into storage, and I know things can go bad but I figured since it was almost new that it was fine.
Thanks for the idea on the starting fluid, may try that if it's not the pressure issue.
Any other thoughts?
