Nope cranks just fine. Oil pressure and coolant temp was good.

Tried a coil I had laying around, still no start. Have 12 volts at the coil but its not getting any spark. FYI the brand new distributor is an Accel that I had laying around but idk that it would have died that quickly.

He had an Accel dizzy be intermittently bad right out of the box. A module was de-soldering itself when it got hot and then re-soldered itself when it cooled or something like that.
THAT is how you troll someone. But I digress.
So it gets fuel but spins and spins? Is it flooded? Are you getting any spark?

I didnt know that, and I didnt know they were THAT crappy, had no isses at all until it stalled, my GM one was questionable so I used the new one instead. It does flood yes, just spins and spins, no spark at all.

I had an Accel coil go bad after ~130 miles.
Time to start chasing wires I guess.

Good rule of thumb: If it says Accel on it, don't buy it. If you did, throw it away.

Thats exactly whats on the car, I tried an old old old s/c on the trans am with no luck. Im going to swap the module out of my Nova and try that first the accel module looks really really cheap and crappy, car ran good for the 20 min it did run tho.

The accel module fell appart in my hands when I un-bolted it and the module I put in looks like its older then dirt but it says made in usa on it and it works. Go figure, didnt think accels stuff could be that crappy.
