Timing is probably off. Set number 1 piston at TDC and check the timing marks. If applicable, also remove cap from distributer and check position of rotor, it may need adjusting for correct timing.

What can it be now Engine was running on the highway then it died. Engine will crank over and it has fuel but no spark Recently replaced spark plugs wires dist. cap rator and coil?
To me, it sounds like a timing belt (chain) needs replaced but are you sure there is no spark? If it just quit on you w/out notice, tunrs over but will not start-you likely have to replace the timing belt. Same thing happened to me- Toyato Tacoma w/about 162k miles on it.

A loose timing chain can cause the 305 h to jump time. with improper time, the engine will not start.
My engine turns over but wont start. When it did start the engine will run for like twenty seconds then it would shut off. Does my timing chain need to be replaced or does the timing need adjustment?
Well, if it ran smooth for the 20 seconds then timing has nothing to do with it. Sounds like a fuel shortage. Have the pump checked, and also the filter.
