wt4AC...comp-fuel-spark-at TDC-cranks won't fire...

SR5 4AC.
Car loses power and dies, cranks a few times then starter clicks.
Alternator failed-battery died.
Battery was 9/12.
Replaced both........Engine won't fire.
It was running great. I just unbolted removed/installed the battery...and alternator. Now I'm confused.
Fresh rebuilt engine, basicaly the alt/battery/starter/dizz were the only remaining used parts.
Checked and resurfaced grounds-check
Fuses-check
Starter kicks/cranks over so-check
TDC-check
Electronic fuel pump, lines, carb-check
Compression-check
Spark at lead to block when cranking, bzzt-check
Drained fuel tank, replaced with 5gl fresh gas, disconnected line at carb, ran pump and drained about 1/2gl.
Details...this is fresh rebuilt engine with 600 miles on it. Was running great with its full 4ac stock power.
Nearly every component is new, minus the battery alternator(now replaced) starter(works) distributor(culprit?)
New rotor cap wires plugs.
Replacing plugs tomorrow, maybe fuel locked but doubt it.
Ordered a distributor.
I have spark so the distributor is doing something. As well as rotor cap wires.
It wont fire as if no fuel is entering(flick throttle-fuel jets in), or timing is off, which I reset twice because I can't figure anything along the lines of the firing stage to be causing this. It went from running to a dead battery and alternator. Took 15 minutes to swap out the pieces and now it won't fire...
Any thoughts/ideas? Thank you.
