CIS - no run

The car hasn't "ran" since I got it. As far as I know it hasn't ran since 1996. New fuel filter, flushed tank, everything was incredibly clean.

With the WUR either valved off or in series with a pressure gauge I get the following: the gauge applied to the center of the fuel distributor, the pressure climbs to 5 bar (~75psig) while it is running and drops to 3 bar ( ~ 45psig) when it stops.

The car fires up strong (fraction of a second) but will only remain running if I give it gas/hold the throttle body open.

I replaced the intake boot because it was ripped near the auxiliary control valve connection. Still no resolve. I also purchased a known good fuel distributor and installed it. Still no resolve.

Starting - giving it gas (ignore the squealing blower fan)

What should I be looking for next? It would appear my cold start pressure is correct so I'm not sure what I should be looking at next.
