Can someone give me a sanity check please.

I'm trying to get the 7 out of the garage today (for the first time since September) and I'm having issues getting it started. It appears that I'm not getting a spark. My tune is still in need of some help as I am on the tail end of a complete build up, but nothing has changed since last September when it would start just fine.

After several attempts to start it, I pulled the leading plugs and found that they were completely drenched with fuel. The trailing plugs weren't too bad, but they were a little bit wet. I then put a timing light on each of my plug wires to see if there was any attempt from the Twin Power to light them up, but there was nothing. There is a very strong smell of fuel & white smoke coming from the exhaust the entire time while cranking. I also noticed that there is a buzzing sound coming from the Twin Power when the ignition is on, but I've never noticed it before. Can anyone else confirm that this is normal?

I feel like I should ditch the twin power and go with an MSD 6A, but I really don't want to spend the money right now.

Any thoughts?

Screw it! I just ordered an MSD 6AL and 4 blaster 8207 coils. Now I know I'll have enough spark.

I'm not sure if I'm going to sell it or not. Now that I've done a little more reading, I'm not so sure that I want to run the MSD 6AL. I may have an MSD 6AL for sale now though.
