Check the spark for sure. Also check the cam timing and firing order. Don't assume that anything is good at this point, go through all the "cranks but won't start" checks from the beginning.

When there's no signal from the distributor, the ECU doesn't know that the engine is turning, so the injectors won't fire either. You can check if it is trying to pulse the injectors by unplugging one and putting a #194 bulb in the plug. The bulb should flash when you crank.
