87 TBI 350 won't start

One week ago I changed the timing chain & oil pan gasket as well as install a sleeve on the harmonic balancer. Cranked and ran fine, drove it about 10 miles. This past week I went back to an electric oil pressure gage ,so I had the cluster out to install the gage and paint the needles. Hooked the battery back up, cranked it and it started but only ran for a few seconds. I should add that the oil pressure gage went to 60 psi while it was running. Turned it over again and nothing. I can smell fuel so I don't think it is the pump. Checked the wiring on distributor found a the pink ign. wire loose in a crimped connector and fixed that, Next I pulled the wire on the coil and it was crusty to say the least so put a new coil on and still no luck. Ran out of daylight so hear I am. Any suggestions in which direction would be great. I will check dist. cap and components in the morning, but anything else I should look at ? P.S.The vss is hooked up but i don't think that would be it.
