If it cranks over fine but doesn't fire at all.... I had a bad ignition module do that to me. If your getting gas, and have good compression, that leaves no spark in my limited knowledge. Ignition module can be either on distributor or the plastic fender liner. Mine was on the distributor and if that turns out to be your trouble, make sure you use the special grease the new mod comes with to help out with heat disapation.

Before you buy any parts, I'd check for spark and repost. Free and easy to do.
