[QUOTE=Chi-Town;602211]Yeah I was thinking it would have smacked a valve and stopped by now also.

No oil on the plugs just flowing out the valve cover side.

I've been thinking about it all day and when I did the fuel pressure it smelled like gas but not as strong as usual.

The car had an aftermarket fuel cap on it and no gas door when I got it.

I'm wondering if the fuel is contaminated? I'll take a sample in the morning before it gets hot and see if it is.[/QUOTE

If your getting spark at the plug you should have got at lease a sputter or cough using the starting fluid.. so my thoughts are
1. plugs are to wet and fouled with possible contaminated fuel that your not get spark at the electroid
2.no compression.
3.hell of a restriction in the intake or exhaust so not drawing in air.

You can check #3 by using a vacuum gauge hooked up at the intake while cranking.
needle should show 3-5 inches? of vacuum at cranking.

you may want to pull all the plugs clean and dry them.

Starting to sound like a carbureted engine with a choke stuck closed LOL
