After that, seems the only thing left is the injectors. Remove two and watch them fire into a can. Should have no leaks and a nice fan pattern. Make sure you remove the coil wire so the car does not run. Be extra careful with raw fuel out in the open. Might also try and clean contacts (FI) in bottom of distributor.
