Car cranks but won't start after fuel pump replacement

[Lightrfire]

I'm going to get a compression tester and check compression tomorrow just to eliminate that as a cause. Are these cars known to jump timing out of the blue? It was seriously all fine before the fuel pump gave out I'm so confused... I've checked everything so far except for compression so I'll give that a try tomrrow since that's all that's left...

With a timing chain, it is very difficult for timing to be an issue. If you try to crank it for a bit, does the exhaust smell like gas?
