Well you have found out you are getting fuel, and spark. How about compression?

Yeah I'll need to test for compression, I suppose thats my last resort. The distributor cap was a little bit loose, one of the screws was turned all the way out, I pulled the cap off and checked the contacts and everything seemed fine. There was no moisture in the cap at all. Im at a loss here. I suppose the only thing to check would be compression, but if there wasent enough compression to start it, why would it run to my desintation where I parked it? Also how could it change over night not running?
