Ok I have a 3.0 Lebaron crank no start. Had a broken t belt which I have replaced. Checked compression all cylinders around 180. Have good spark and injector pulse. I have fuel pressure

Seems like you have everything for it to fire...
Did you have the distributor out?
Anything else that you replaced while doing the timing belt?
Have you tried spraying starting fluid to see if it runs then?
I have tried starting fluid it sounds it it gets vapo locked. I haven't touched the distributed but did find it has holes drilled for the cap looks like the originals have broken bolts
Check to make sure your distributor isn't 180* out. Easy to do. I had the same problem with my Daytona after I replaced a head gasket & turbo lines. I swore up and down it was in right, but after checking again, it was out 180*.
has this engine/car run during the time you have owned it? If you bought it broken or are fixing it for somebody, my assumptions change (compared to a car that you have owned and know what has or hasn't been done to it.)
The distributor cap having been drilled out seems like a potential red flag. The 3L cap ears are keyed so it only goes on one way. Makes me wonder if somebody flipped it...
One other thing to consider is to make sure the wires go to the right cylinders... It is easy to switch them. Usually the engine will still start, but will run really badly....
So I got the car the seller said the fuel pump was bad. I already knew it was more then that but for 180 dollars who care lol. So anyway I got to work on the car again and the distributor was off not 180 out more like 90. Thanks for the tip I was at a loss
