Okay so update!

we got the car to actually start but under a certain condition. We lifted up the fuel rail and tried turning the car over . To our surprise it actually did . But once all the fuel that was in the chamber burned up the car died. So it seems as if when we lift the fuel rail it starts but when the fuel rail is seated it doesn't want to start. I don't know if the fuel rail is dumping fuel or if it isn't sparking fast enough . I have a new ignition coil, new cap and rotor on the dizzy but still. Any ideas ?
