1985 245 GLTi Wont Start and I'm almost at my wits end. 200

Pablos,

a) When I removed the fuel filter to replace it with a new one, fuel shot all over the place when I cracked the seal, so I suspect that I do have fuel and a good amount of pressure at the fuel filter. The amount of pressure? I don't know, but enough to shoot up about 5 feet in the air when the seal was broken.

b) after trying to start the car with the new filter on and it didn't run, I traced the fuel line from the filter to the fuel distributor and took that hose off to see if there was pressure and fuel. There was fuel and pressure, I don't know if there was as much as there was at the filter because this time I loosened things a little more carefully to keep the fuel from spraying all over the place. There was still some spray and fuel.

c) Haven't opened that yet but I plan on it tonight. I imagine that I probably lost most of the pressure going to the regulator from the distributor since I've already released most of the pressure in the regulator when I opened the feed line. Also I removed the line coming from the regulator to the distributor so that I could get to one of the screws holding it to the fuel/air assembly. Should I crank things over again then check for spray?

Where exactly would the frequency valve be on my B21FT? I checked just about every connection and wire in the engine compartment but I'm not entirely sure what everything was that I checked. I'm trying to use my Haynes to guide me and it doesn't have everything that is on my car, so some things are unknown and still referred to as "Thingy" or "Doo Hicky".
