Well still no joy today.

This morning I changed the top plugs out and disconnected the bottom plugs at the distributor. I figure the top plugs should be enough to fire the engine and removing the bottom plugs takes away one variable. I removed the air cleaners and sprayed starting fluid into the air horns while my wife tried to start the car. No start . Only pops and flame out the exhaust.

So I figure I've narrowed the problem to the ignition.

So, I figure that I created another problem in my efforts to fix the original stuck needle valve issue. The only thing I did to the ignition was to remove the plugs, plug wires, cap and rotor. So I figure maybe I disturbed something in the ignition wiring. I removed the top plug wires and checked them for resistance, I know from previous experience that the combined resistance of the wire and Beru connector should be around 5-8 K-Ohms. I found 3 of the 6 to be shorted or in the M-ohm range. I think the connectors at the distributor were not robust enough. so I replaced the wiring and connectors in all leads until I had 5-7 k-ohms in all leads. So I cross my fingers, install all the refurbished wiring and try to start the car. No difference still a couple of spurts out of the exhaust but no fire.

Ideas??
