88 900s won't start

My 88 900s 5spd ran fine last night, then when I went to start it this morning it just turned over. A few sputters, then no life whatsoever. After many many attempts with no luck, I tried pop starting it, with it catching then dying in a few feet. End result is that I'm down the driveway a few more feet on a steep hill. Lucky me. Anyway, replaced rotor, cap, checked plug wires, and all look good. Plenty of gas, and when I crank it over you can smell gas from the tailpipe. While it was being turned over, I pulled the lead from the coil to the distributor, and proceeded to shock myself pretty well. After you finish laughing at me, anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
Mike
