1984 245 won't start 200

After cleaning my engine bay yesterday (with a garden hose, no pressure washer) my '84 245 na will not start. I was careful, or so I thought, to not get any water near electrical components; however, as the car had no problems before this I feel that I must've gotten water somewhere it should not be. The car cranks fine, just won't fire up. First I popped the distributor cap to check for moisture - none there. I've also tested for fuel reaching the fuel rail by pulling the line from the line pressure regulator and no fuel was flowing out when I tried started the car (if this is an incorrect way to test, please tell). I'm guessing that I might have messed up my ignition control unit. Also, the engine bay was washed with the engine running and I left the car idling for around 5-7 minutes after the wash was complete. Throughout this time the engine ran fine. A few hours later I went to start my car and it wouldn't fire up. Any ideas? Thanks guys.
