Default 1998 gmc 5.7 crank, no start

Im issue for months, need help please.
Truck turns over, no start. I replaced plugs, wires, coil pack, distributor cap, button, cam shaft pos, crankshaft pos, spider injectors. Just hit 80k miles, number 3 5 7 plugs are sooty and dry, the rest are wet and clean. Compression good, fuel pressure regulator getting full pressure at crank, but slightly drops when shut off. The regulator is new, on the new injectors. Does this sound like my new.part is bad?

How about your ignition control module?
That was the culprit for my crank/no start.
The coil, cables, plugs and dist. cap we're all new, turned out that 25+ years of heat fried my control module.
You can take it in and have it tested.

Ok, it seems that you have most of your electrical taken care of,
but what i would do first is find out if your plugs are getting a proper spark,
and make sure your battery leads and leads to your starter are getting a good connection.
Get a spark plug tester and make sure all plugs are functioning properly.
If they all are then I would suggest it be a fuel issue,
but other possibilities could even be the throttle position sensor or coolant temp sensor.
both of which will reduce the amount of fuel while starting if not working properly.
