Checked the timing on the distributor (timing is good)
Checked to see if I was getting spark (good)
What i'm thinking it could be are the injectors, a bad ECM since no codes are being given, or crank position sensor needs replacement.
Timing is NOT determined by distributor position. Timing is determined by the crank sensor, and the ECM. If you're getting spark, the crank sensor is likely fine.
Turning the distributor affects how close the plug wire terminals are to the rotor tip, so the spark will jump to the correct terminal with minimal resistance.
For the module its ohms to test I believe and for the ignition coil I believe it's long as its sparking.
There's no easy test for the module except to see if it makes sparks when triggered. Anything beyond that requires special testing equipment; and frankly, I don't trust that sort of equipment.
By comparison, testing the coil is very easy. Ohmmeter testing of primary and secondary windings, including to ground. The ohmmeter testing can show a coil is faulty. It CANNOT prove a coil is good.
After the coil passes the ohmmeter testing, you then connect a spark-tester. If the coil can pass the ohmmeter tests, and reliably fire the spark tester, it's likely good.
Use a spark tester calibrated for HEI when testing an HEI system. A "points-style" spark tester won't load an HEI coil enough.

I opened the distributor as well and everything looks good I even pulled it out to check the timing and its fine (I did mark it before taking it out so I dont lose timing). Anyway ill find a way to test the coil when I get home ill keep you updated.
Again...distributor position doesn't change timing.
I will try to prime the system to see if I can get it to start even just for a little bit but even if the fuel pump IS the problem dont you think the starter fluids would have worked? I sprayed some in and thats when it all backfired and smoke came out of the intake.
I'm surprised that adding starter fluid didn't allow the engine to run.
Have you performed a cranking compression test? Jumped timing chain wouldn't prevent spark, but it might change the valve timing enough to cause problems.
