Fired up today.
New plugs and wire set.
Compression 165-195 psi with difference being within the 70% recommended by GM manual. All compression built up smoothly over 3-4 cranks. Rotor appears timed correctly at #1 wire when #1 at TDC so engine mechanical appears good.
Old plugs appeared ok. Dist cap mildly oxidized and cleaned with spring tab on rotor nudged up. Cap screws may have been a bit loose.
Fuel pressure still on low side so that's another issue.

Still can't figure why starter fluid I've been using for 6 months would not start the vehicle. Grab some old gasoline out of a chainsaw, poured that directly down the throat of the throttle body, and she fired right up for a few seconds. Then I reconnected fuel pump relay and she fired right up and ran nicely for several minutes while I put the tools away. My gut is telling me that something is intermittent along with the low fuel pressure issue, but at least I got some combustible fluid to light today and that was my whole goal. Going to button everything up and drive it for a few days and we'll see what happens.
