Pull your plugs starting with cylinder #6 (passenger rear). Report with what you find.

Maybe a piece in the distributor cap broke? That dont explain why it died after running though. It would just run rough, wouldnt it?

Ok, so no fuel poured out which is a good thing. Is your oil level excessively high and does it smell like fuel?

Figured it out! Pulled the plenum and a fuel line cracked and was sprayin fuel into one of the ports. I pulled the plugs again and tried canning it and fuel pored out of the spark plug hole and now it cranks over again. All I need to do to fix it is get a new line.
Than for the help!

Get the "nut kit" (as it is commonly referred to as) replaced and you should be good to go!
