Start back with the basics. Is there spark, fuel, air, compression? Take the distributor off and crank the engine to see if it turns. Fairly common for the timing gears to go away. Keep us posted on your progress.

i am hoping that you mean take the distibuter cap off to see if the distributer is turning that could lead to a mess if misconstrued by the reader

Thank you for the correction. You hope correctly. But the basics still apply.
