Figured out what my issue was after taking it to the shop. Had a hairline crack on the inside of the distributor cap near the button and since it was so small I never saw it. Had spark to the plugs, but I guess it was just not strong enough to let the engine run. Didn't think that the distributor cap would be bad as it was changed only ~300 miles before the fuel pump died. So the lesson I learned is take a real close look at that distributor cap if you run into a similar situation because if you take it to the shop you could end up paying $300 plus for one

You pull out the plugs, and see that they are creating a spark, but they don't have enough voltage to ignite the mixture, especially on start-up.
