Put a new distributor, fuel pump, injectors, its getting fuel to carburetor and there is blue fire going from coil to distributor, but yellow fire going to spark plug. It will turn over but not crank. What should I check or fix the problem?

Good evening,

Did you check the actual fuel pressure?

Also, I would check the compression as well.

It could be a failed fuel pump from low pressure or low compression from a failed timing chain.
