It can't be the distributor, all the distributor does is spin the rotor to allow the spark to jump the gap between the tip of the rotor to the electrodes in the cap at the right time. If the distributor still spins when the engine cranks over then it's fine. Since the cap and rotor, wires and plugs are fairly new it can't be those either, but you could check each plug for spark to be totaly sure. I'd put my money on the coil or ignitor. Check the wire connections to the coil. Make sure they're not loose, cut, broken, and check that everything is firmly pluged in.
With any repair, start by doing the simple and cheap stuff first. Check that everything is pluged in. Look for any loose wires, corroded terminals, or hoses that may have come off. Check the functionality of the parts that you think have gone bad before replacing any of them. You found that out the hard, and expensive way by replacing a fuel pump that may have been working fine to begin with. When all else fails consult a professional to diagnose the problem. Once you know what the problem is, you may be able to fix it yourself for cheap with salvage yard parts.
