Need help! Fuel system problem (?) '81 245 GL 200

Well, I'm happy to say it's been a while since I've had to post any problems up, but this one really has me stumped.

First off, the symptoms: The Beast has been running fine. I gave her a wash and rotated the tires, and then she wouldn't start. She currently will turn over, catch, and fire once, but will then immediately die.

I thought maybe the fuel pump had finally crapped out, and since I have a brand new one on the shelf in my garage (from my last roadside adventure... I can change one of those mothers in half an hour) I swapped it in. No difference. The pre-pump and fuel filter are less than 2 years old. I also checked for vaccum leaks and found none. It was a very thorough look, too. I know I'm getting spark, too, since she will fire initially, so I pulled an injector and discovered that I'm not getting any spray what-so-ever after the pump primes. WTF? Checked the relays/fuses/leads and cleaned everything that was even a smidge dirty, but still no love.

How do I know if it's the line pressure regulator? Fuel distributor? Control pressure regulator? Or anything else? Help!
