Since you've already established that there's fuel in all the cylinders, that pretty much rules out a stuck injector. I'm more familiar with Motronic injection, so I can't be very specific on where the problem lies. Somewhere in the fuel system there must be a pressure regulator. Maybe check the Bentley and see where it is. If it failed, and the fuel pressure coming into the distributor is way high, it's possible that fuel is just blowing right through the distributor straight to the injectors. One thing you could try is pulling all the injectors at once, turn the ignition on, and see if fuel squirts out of all the injectors simultaneously. That might at least give you a better idea of what's going on. I was lucky and never had problems with the fuel distributor, so I don't have much of an idea of exactly how it works internally. Just a couple of ideas.
