Cap and Rotor wires while your at it plugs as well.

Is the Rotor turning??

You have not Checked for spark at the plugs??

Just how did you get to this Crank but no start condition

81 22R ??

Just where are you measuring Fuel pressure ??

Could be just old age how many miles ??

Sheared off crank or cam gear.

Broken timing Chain

Then do you have zero compression or just very low.

My one 22RE engine I could spin with one hand on the crank pulley with the plugs in.

It still started and run although power was on the low side .
