Need Help....1987 Fleetwood Brougham won't start

I have a 1987 fleetwood brougham that won't start. It cranks but won't catch. I've changed out the ignition module, distributor cap, ignition rotor, fuel filter and spark plugs. I put in a new alternator 6 months ago. Battery connections are good. Vacuum lines are good. I've tried everything. it acts like it's not getting any fuel. any help would be appreciated.

DO you know if your fuel pump is working?

I had the same problem with my 1990 and didn't want to hassle with the repair myself. Huge mistake. I took it to the local Cadillac dealership, and after 3 new fuel pumps, a new fuel tank, and rebuilding the ditributor, at a cost of almost $5000, they determined that it was the fuel sending unit, that they may have damaged because of their numerous removals. I would sugget checking the fuel sending unit that's attached to the fuel pump. It will be a dealer only part, but you may be able to order one through CB Auto Parts in Neosho, Missouri.
