I just wanted to report back what I found to be the problem in this case, to perhaps help others.
All of the no-start checks found no problem. I could even hear the fuel pump motor running.
I used some starter fluid and sprayed some into the intake manifold by opening a vacuum port. Closed it back up and the car started briefly. This told me I had spark but no fuel.
I had replaced the fuel pump about a year ago, so I decide to pull the fuel pump assembly out and have a look at it. I found that the hose coming from the pump outlet, connecting to the barbs, had come off. This was because I had used the original single tie-wrap on the hose rather than putting new ones on. So I replace the single with three very tight tie-wraps. Put it all back together and the car started right up!
