wont start/big day disappointment 242 glt 200 83

Help guys,

Restarting 242glt.Valve job,gaskets etc,and tried to fire the engine and wont start.Car sat for couple of years,but I drained tank,fluids.Did not change fuel filter,but plenty of gas getting to fuel distributor.Fuel pump noisy but works.Injectors soaked,fuel coming thru inj lines,getting spark.

Ill mess with the motor and try to fire it and on the first try it seems to catch and turn over,but after that,no chance.

What is the most likely scenario.

Thanks for the help and patience.

RR
