I did check fuses, battery is fine so the alternator, fuel pump is fine because i can when it turns on, umm the only thing i had left to check the spark, i pulled out cyl#1 spark plug put in on my ign wires with spark plug attached, tried to crank again and there was almost no spark no little that you cant even tell there is a spark at all, Does it mean my distributor is garbage?, each spark plug is wet and i can smell gas. I'm thinking while I was driving dist went bad, and floated my spark plugs, car died., does that make any sense???

I would assume the coil before the dizzy, seeing it tries to spark... multimeter is your friend coil should have 1.6ohms IIRC

Do you have a sparkplug tester? easiest way to test is just run the coil wire straight to the test it, then try it with the distributor.
