Default 84' won't start, sledge hammer or dynamite?

I replaced the intake manifold gasket a while back, hasn't started since.
Here's what it does and what i have done.
I have spark at plugs.
I have fuel to the tb's if i pull the fuel line off and turn the key to run position, it will soak you down with fuel. However with the lines attached there is no fuel spray from the TB's when cranking.

i have replaced all the TB gaskets and filters and checked all the TB internal passages for blockage. I have went through all the helm manual's troubleshooting on the subject, even hanes is it possible i'm overlooking something obvious here? I'm at my whits end here its either gonna sit for a few more months while i try to track this problem down or i'll loose my temper and take the hammer to it
