ive thrown in the towel

[72chevk20]

72 K20 w/ 350 stock everything. I am at the end of my knowledge. Here Is the readers digest version with all the facts. Running fine for months. Voltage regulator popped. Replaced and drove. Wanted to change coil just because, and points while I'm at it. Both replaced, adjusted points, ran beautiful. Test drive, fuel pump blew. Ran until float bowl went dry. Replaced fuel pump. Flooded while cranking, pulled all spark plugs and cranked for 5 seconds. Let sit overnight and installed new spark plugs. Cranked, no start. Pulled plug, checked spark, good. Turned motor by hand with finger over number 1 to find TDC, pulled cap, timing good. I can see fuel spraying when I cycle throttle. Disconnected fuel line and sprayed ether down the carb and I dont even get a cough, yet spark is there and timing is good. Compression on all 8 is right at 160. I'm out of ideas and I feel retarded that I got beat by a Chevy 350.
