Yes, port runs, no issues, star is not pulling fuel, nor sparking.

Right now forget about no spark, find out why no fuel

Use a gas can and length of fuel line. Disconnect fuel from tank at filter, Connect gas can line to filter

Prefill filter

Edit, remove filter and dump contents into clear container

Fuel delivery issue solved, ZERO spark! Inspected distributor, looks fine, rotor spinning, swapped the ignition module, which was not the problem!

My next guess would normally be the distributor pick up coil, but hard to believe it would suddenly go bad while layed up.
So' I'm more leaning toward a wiring issue where some corrosion developed

Here is a TB V troubleshooting flowchart

I had a terminal end corrode away inside the connector of wires coming from pick/up to ignition module. Difficult to see but no spark.
