My 1.7 914 ran good for 5 years now it won't even fire.I have a 009 distributor with pertronix, no points. I do have a hopped up engine so the guy told me. He could not remember precisely but larger pistons and the heads are not stock. The car was running fine but steadily got harder to start until it wouldn't. The compression is min 120 max 130. The carbs IDF 44 have new kits in and have been soaked. I checked the static timing with an ohm meter, turned distributor clockwise (neg battery and neg coil) until it registered voltage then dropped it, then counter clockwise until voltage registered again so I think I'm close. Spark plug wires are 1-4-3-2. checked em 50 times. Have good spark. Set the valves too TDC .006. What the heck am I missing, spent three days on this and i'm not getting anywhere. Can anybody help me, it's gettin very frustrating.

Gas smell says you are getting fuel into the cylinders. So if you have fuel, air and spark all you need is compression. Somewhere here is an excellent writeup on setting valve clearance. In classics I think. Yup, there she is.
