I'd start with the simple stuff first. Look at the distributor cap from the passenger side of the engine bay. Find the spark plug wire that goes to the #1 cylinder (closest to driver's side of the engine bay). The next spark plug wire going clockwise should go to #3, next is #4, and last is #2.

It is possible to install the distributor 180 degrees out of time (guess how I know?). Do you know how to get the engine to top dead center?

I found tdc and I feel like distributor is installed correctly but I will make sure it's not 180 out .

Also curious if there is a crank sensor in or out side of the distributor maybe somewhere near the timing belt cover.

Unless it's been swapped around for an OBD-2 engine, all the timing sensors are inside the distributor. The CKP sensor being at the crankshaft pulley didn't start until 1996.

Since you're getting some spark, try giving the engine a shot or 2 of starting fluid, either thru the air cleaner snorkel, or the brake booster vac hose. This will tell you if you have a spark issue, or a fuel issue. I realize you have good fuel pressure, but are the injectors working? Hence the reason for shooting some starting fluid into it. It should either start and try to run, or pop from being timed wrong, or you'll get nothing (spark related).
