it began to "cut out". It has good fuel delivery and the compression is great. I got it home while it was bucking and turned it off. Now it don't start.

ECU or fuel pump.
First, do a tap test - hit the ECM a few times while somebody else is cranking it - see if it makes ANY difference.
Second, check fuel pressure - this thing needs at least 41 PSI to start.
There are certainly other possibilities but these two things are the most common.

This could be many items . Are your battery terminals clean and tight ? When was the last time you replaced the battery ? If it has been 3 years or more the battery may not always hold a charge . A weak battery can cause all kind,s of problems as it will be a drain on the electrical system . If you live in part of the country where their is extreme weather changes [ cold winters with / without snow / hot summers this will wear out a battery , electrical charging system early . Have you ever replaced the fuel filter ? One filter may be in line from the fuel pump to the injector,s / carburetor . The other one may either be just outside of the fuel tank or inside the fuel tank . If you are able , go to a part,s store most of them can do a " Load Test " . This check,s the battery , electrical charging system , starter .I hope this gives you some ideas . Been there , Did this . LOL

Check for spark, check your dist. cap for crack or wear.check plug wires too. if all is good then your need to put a fuel gauge on your fuel line and check the fuel pressure.
