Default lost power while driving

So I was cruising along doin about 45 and all of the sudden my cel came on and my rpms dropped to 0 and it wouldn't turn back over. I have a new cap and wires new plugs and a new alt and battery..so why would it suddenly do this? I'm gonna test spark after I get it home. I would think if it was a bad fuel pump it would sputter first then by just not straight up die btw I do have a cracked manifold so maybe it was running too lean? Idk any other ideas?


Just sitting the side of the road waiting for the tow truck :/

Timing belt. Or fuel pump. If the pump totally takes a **** it will cut off in .0000001 seconds. I'm leaning towards the belt.
