Hi,

You indicated it has good spark and fuel. Are you sure the fuel pressure is within spec? If you have both and it won't start, either there is a timing issue or low compression issues.

Do me a favor. See if it starts for a couple of seconds using starting fluid. If it does and then stalls, we know it is fuel-related.

Here are a couple of links you may find helpful:

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Take care and God Bless,
