You say it is getting fuel and has strong spark at coil, but what about at plugs? Have you checked distributor cap or rotor?
Possible slipped timing belt, but how do you know it's getting fuel?
If the spark is weak at plugs, change the spark plugs and wires. Also check if your timing belt is ok, through the inspection hole.
Hit the intake with some starting ether-if it tries to run on it-then yer problem is fuel delivery.

it was a dead short in the distributor rotor.....repleced it and it runs great...thanks for all your help and suggestions
You're saying the rotor conductor was shorted to the distributor shaft?
