Default '87 Monte carlo ... Cranks but doesn't fire

Stock '87 Monte Carlo ... 305 w/Roch Quad ... 70K miles. Cranks but doesn't fire. Fuel comes out the primaries ... Spark at the plugs as I used a spark checker. It draws air (vacuum) as I held my hand over the carb. ECM has no codes except "12" so I assume the ECM is good. Ran great on Monday, went to start it today (Wednesday) and here we are. Any ideas?

If you have spark, you need to determine how is the spark? 87 would have come with ESC, probably a distributor issue. Code 12 is just key on, and nothing with OBD1
