Wait, I retract the 'another thing altogether'
part. Does it have a tendency to stall after
running at higher speeds 45 miles per hour.
It's possible it gets flooded. Google "converter
solenoid overheating GM." Check for fuel in the
air filter.

I think it might be the fuel injectors mess with it couple minutes cylinder 1 and cylinder 6 had gas in it engine would not crank remove spark plugs then crank gas went everywhere

That's not what I asked. I asked if you had a good solid spark or not.
Do you?

What other things have you swapped out? It would have been good if you
had listed them in your original post.

Have you checked the timing? Have you looked for an exhaust restriction?

Don't just swap things out, measure.

If the injectors are leaking, then the fuel rail pressure will drop fast
as soon as you shut the engine off. If they aren't leaking, then it will
stay up. If the injectors are leaking the engine will be running very rich
causing the exhaust to smell like unburned fuel (and not like partially
burned fuel or like paint thinner). Are these the case?

There is a standard test for injectors where you pull them and squirt
onto a sheet of cardboard to measure the pattern.

when you're driving it it does smell like gas

no I have not check the timing I figured it hasn't jumped time because it's 93 it's only got original 43,000 miles that is there original miles to this motor yes it does have very low mileage I know the engine wasn't mistreated cuz there was an old woman who used to own the vehicle never drove it really
I have put a throttle position sensor on it a MAP sensor on it
I figured since I found gas in the cylinder1 and cylinder 6 I figured it'd be the injectors are bad and I figured if I put everything in a post that I've done to the vehicle it would be a very very very very long post
