'86 740 B230F LH - EZK won't start 740-760 86

Update, still dead :( Owner frustrated ... any more ideas guys?

Engine will not start -- I've:

1) replaced plugs, wires, distributor cap, and rotor

2) cleaned injectors, put in new "o" rings

3) repaired frayed insulation on some wiring

4) replaced fuel filter

5) cleaned and inspected MAF (platinum wire still intact)

6) checked all fuses

7) all vacuum lines appear to be connected and intact

Checked for fuel coming out of injectors (not really a mist or spray but more like pencil thin jet of gas from center of all injectors)

Ignition observed off of plug wire near ground seemed to be more of a yellow arc but a heavy arc indeed.

Just fyi, picked up CD from local Auto Zone store about $17 bucks has alot of info. Is produced by Popular Mechanics and ALLDATA. Seems like a great troubleshooting aid ... I am getting tired of reading thru it so any ideas or comments welcomed. Many thanks, Harv
