car won't start...?

how about this for a first post!! lol... i'm bryan, USAF. i have a 1995 Firehawk with a fully forged rebuilt 385 LT1 with a T67 STS... i got it back a week ago with no issues till last night:

the car was idling in the driveway for about 5minuts warming up and it shut off. i went to re-start it, it turns over and sounds good and healthy but it wont fire. i tried 3 times and stopped. the ignition modular is good, 3/4ths tank of gas. i can hear the fuel pump. it's a new ACdelco opti. about 800miles on the motor / 150k on pretty much everything else, nothing leaking.... any ideas?

all fuses good, all relays are good. electric checks are good, the pump is getting juice. rear-end is coming out to see if something came loose on the top or to just straight up r&r the pump... fun fun..

Two questions you still didn't answer:

-did you check the fuel pressure?

-did you scan it for codes?

No fuel pressure = no start.
