Default Car still won't start

Well, I'm running out of options and luck.

The distributor is good, the fuel pump is good. Just tried another ECU... made no difference. The car cranks but will not catch. There is spark, gas, and air but it just won't catch. Any suggestions?? Someone told me the coolant temperature sensor, but I don't see how that would affect it. Any other sensors to check?

Is the cam in time?

Did you try a compression test?

well, as far as I can tell, it is. I have an AEM camgear on it right now and it's difficult to see if it's lined up properly. However, I never touched it from when the car was running perfectly. the compression is 185 psi (cold) 215-220 across when it was running.

Don't know the exact psi, but the spark plugs are drenched in gas, and it's a brand new holley 190 lph pump

It's flooded. Take the plugs out and let the cylinders dry out overnight.
