Default 96 blazer wont start has good spark and fuel

Last saturday i was driving home, and my 96 blazer randomly died check engine light went on and then wouldnt start back up it only cranks and cranks

had towed home.
tested had low fuel pressure around 30 psi
put fuel pump in then had good fuel pressure around 50 psi
still cranks only so then i found my distributor mounting ears were cracked so i ordered a distributor rotor and cap
timed and installed same thing cranks only
i found the old distibutor teeth were worn and damaged so i thought that was the problem but turns out it still doesnt start so then in the mean time from cranking so much i killed the starter. so i replaced that too.
I am without a vehicle going on about a week.
cant figure out problem
I have spark i have fuel and i believe the timing is correct too. The fuel pressure stays high i left gauge on for a while.
Oh and this started on my week off !!!!

What exactly are your fuel pressure numbers? to start it needs to be 60+ psi. did you have the codes read?? if so what were they. Are you positive you have good spark?

Edit: Take a look through This Thread on the same issue, see if anything helps

Fuel pressure is 55 psi and it held and didn't leak down.

Have you removed any of the spark plugs to see if they are wet with fuel? I would suspect fuel regulator.

Spray some starting fluid in the throttle body (Make sure to hook hose back up so the Maf will function correctly. If it starts then dies you do have a fuel issue.
