1989 camaro wont crank need help????????????

Question

i have an 89 camaro RS 2.8L V6, it has new starter, distributor, cap and rotor, plugs and plug wires, gas tank, sending unit, fuel pump, fuel filter and lines. it sat up for 8 years and i bought it back in april because it was my moms car before she died, and its sat in the woods since 2000. its turning over and getting fire, its got fuel pressure and the timing is right, it turns over and tries to start and blows out white smoke but it just wont start up.i cant think of what it could be.it has fresh gas and the fuel is getting to the motor. i think it might be the injectors, but idk how to clean them

Update:

it has fresh gas , and i tryed starting fluid, the plugs are getting fire

Update 2:

it attempted to crank but it wouldn't how do you bleed air out of the injectors

You are not getting enough fuel. If it was too rich you would be blowing black smoke. Check your fuel filter first, then check your fuel pump relay in your fuse box in the engine compartment. Take it out , thump it a few times then put it back in. Even if it was a bad plug or 2 you could still get it started. Also listen to see if your fuel pump is kicking on. It will be a quick hum when your turn your key in the rear where your tank is.

You tried starting fluid but what happened? Did it attempt to run? I suspect you didn't bleed the air from the injectors

You look to have replaced all the achievable culprits, even if the "white smoke" makes me imagine that you've both a cracked cylinder head or a leaking gasket it truly is letting adequate water into the combustion chambers to kill any ignition. try a compression try.
