No Start Issue

Sorry to do this, but Im adding to the no start thread list. I recently took the engine out and did a clutch/flywheel swap and replaced all external gaskets. Its back in now and it will not start for ****.

Ive got the pulley on, CAS aligned correctly (dot on the gear lined up with the think on the side of the shaft) So Im confident that my timing is correct. Im getting spark cause I pulled a pug and saw it jump, very strong at that. Im not 100% on the fuel though. I pulled the main line from the pump and got showered with fuel, so its obviously making some pressure, but when I got the line off and turned on the pump, I saw nothing more than a stream run out, which it was doing with the pump off anyway. BUT, spraying ether into the intake didnt make it fire either. So what else could be not working correctly to cause a non start situation? I checked for resistance on the CAS and it was 155ohms each side (calls for between 110 and 220)... Im sorta lost here. Cause I figured if everything else was good, the ether should have made it spit or sputter or something. The plugs were wet when i pulled so do you think somehow its just majorly flooded? I turned it over a ton with the pump off, so I figured it would have cleared up by now.

Wouldnt the CAS, TPS, MAF fuel and spark be pretty much all youd need to at least get a backfire or something out of it. Fuel + Spark = explosion, yet all I get is the starter turning over the engine. Ive cleared out any fuel in the engine and tried again with zero luck. So what in gods name is making this thing not start.

Fuel pump must be working, cause I loosened a clamp on the line at the fpr and had some seepage from pressure on the line. What is the flow rate for stock fuel pump?

So now I have the fuel for sure, the spark for sure, TPS working and in spec, CAS working and in spec and adjusted correctly, MAF is in and I guess working, it worked before though it was left in the rain one night, but it dried out completely and I dont see where that would be an issue. Plug wires are routed correctly, coils are plugged in since I never touched them. Yet not even so much as a backfire or puff of smoke, just an engine turning via starter... help me! Ive been wanting to drive it again so badly. Been over a month
