Bob, check out our Tech thread for 82's (the "sticky") in the above section. Hopefully this will also help you out in correcting your problem.

Especially the "NO START CONDITION(S)" section.
Also when you replaced the distributor, did it come with a new ignition module, or did you use your old one? And whether you used either or, did you apply some thermal compound to the bottom of the module to prevent it from getting fired?
you say that you have power to the injectors, so I am assuming that you also have power to the spark plugs? How much fuel is in your tank, if it is under 7 gallons, the pumps may have a difficult time supplying the correct amount of fuel to start. Ask me how I know, at least with mine, I never let it do below that amount, as it will stumble and seem to starve for fuel in stop & go driving.
Again, check out the "sticky".....good luck.....Tom
