I'm baffled. Getting spark AND fuel, but cranks and no start

I'm baffled. Fuel pressure holds at about 32psi, but will slowly bleed down to about 28 after 5 mins. I checked spark to all 6 cylinders and it's there. I originally checked 1 cylinder and wasn't getting spark, then read something about unplugging the CPS for 5 minutes, re-plugging, and trying again. Now spark to all 6. So maybe I didn't check it correctly the first time.

Timing issue?

ok. I googled "spark and fuel, no start" and read something on Cherokee forum about it being flooded and try starting at WOT. So, I cranked and cranked at WOT and it eventually started. Being flooded made sense since I'd been cranking all morning checking fuel pressure and spark.
