Hi hutch75, Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation

You got snapping blue spark and correct fuel pressure-are the injectors pulsing providing fuel?

Did you put the engine no.1 piston on its compression stroke/TDC before you pull the distributor if not the valve timing is off/could be 180deg out and also this will throw off the ignition timing.
