When we went to leave a few hours later, it just wouldn't start. Fuel pump primed, fuel pressure was normal, coil was good, MSD was working, etc. I finally got a used ECU from Lee and it fired right up.

What you are describing is exactly what I went through. I even made the same "no fuel smell" observation that you did. The bottom line is, the ECU get's taken out and is not telling the injectors to fire at all.

I would tens to rule out a broken wire because that would normally cause an erratic condition at first and usually gives some warning before it just stops working.

I was thinking that as well Brian, I sat down a few nights ago and pulled the harness out to check for broken wires and found none. I was to the point of just buying a new ecu or finding one to try. Thanks Guys
