1980 242GT Fuel 200 1980

So, picked up a GT that has been sitting a long long time. The engine blew a head gasket. No big deal got it changed, new t-belt, etc. So, finally went to start it up. It would just crank. Okay, it has spark, so I check fuel. Well, there is fuel at the filter but when I cracked it open it was real dirty so, new filter. Pulled an injector....Ah huh, almost nothing. Yesterday, when it would start and run I could put the gas pedal to the floor and it would run about 500rpm. If I let completely off it would die. Now, it won't start at all. I pulled all the injectors, they seem ok. I blew a little air threw them with the compressor and they seem fine. So, I cranked the car with the injectors OFF, still, not much fuel. I'm lost....Could this be a clogged fuel dist? Pump not sending enough pressure? Oh, how I love K-jet. errrrrr Please help!
