85 gslse not getting fuel

This is confusing the **** out of me. i drove the car about 5 miles to my shed outside of town and was going to swap some things from a donor car i turned it of then had to get back in and move it. i drove it like 50 yards and turned it off. haha the only things i changed at the time was i put a k&n filter in and the hood prop from the other car and got in to start it and it just wouldnt start. so i checked the connections on the trailing coil because this car has a tendency to flood usually and i unplug the wire on there to dry it out alot. it was good. i swapped the coils to see if that was bad, no luck, swapped the ignitors from the other car, no luck. i have established the fuel pump is working by jumping the air flow thing and i also disconnected the outlet on the filter and it spraying out fuel . the car is getting spark because itll fire for a second on starting fluid but i have pretty much exhausted all the things ive found listed that it might be any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You also have the main engine fuse in the fuse box and the fusible links in the engine bay that could be culprits. I would check those next.

Is the harness/plug going to the AFM nice and tight? Also, make sure the flapper inside the AFM didn't get hung up.
