it probably has nothing to do with the dist. sound like your main relay went out.
is your fuel pump priming? can you hear it?

he's saying he has no spark at the plugs...that doesn't have anything to do with fuel.

it's most likely a bad ignitor

try taking out the msd system and run stock distributor system and see if it starts. If it does... there's probably something wrong with the MSD system.

of course make sure the dizzy that you use is a known good one. But most likely the MSD is your culprit.

Honestly, I don't see why people at stock-ish hp levels use that ****. The stock Honda ignition is good up to like 250hp.

Oh wait, bandwagon

so many threads saying that the MSD coil sucks ***, and i doubt that the stock dizzy stops being effective at 250hp...i think theres plenty more room to go

I dont see why so many people get msd with bolt ons. It's probably that cool transparent red dizzy cover.
