Default Civic SI '93 GSR Swap won't start! HELP!

I have a OBD1 b18c1 dropped in a Civic 93 SI right now , stock harness and all. I checked all my sensors , firing order , fuses and connections in the engine, they all check out . When I try to start the car it just cranks but doesn't catch. Help? I'll be glad to provide any info you guys need or pics to help you guys help me start the car.

Check to see if your getting fuel.

Check to see if your getting spark.

**Cant tell what most of those plugs are. The 3 wire white plug (c) is your Corner Light. The small plug (b) looks like a/c compressor. (e) Is going to be EVAP or Coolant Temp.

Injectors were my problem with my swap. Car turned over, had spark and everything was hooked up and looked sound. If they've sat for awhile they may be plugged up with ethanol poisoned gasoline.

I'm going to try and buy some new injectors today.

Still no start guys. I just recently removed fuel tank and cleaned , forsure the gasoline has been sitting it looked yellow , kinda like **** to be honest , any idea what that might be. BTW This was a shell that was sitting . Replaced fuel pump, forsure getting fuel. Spark still there. Going to fully crack down on the compression today.

Also does anyone have the wire diagrams for all the electric under the dash?
