look at your tach and see if it comes up when you are spinning it over. also try to put a charger or a booster on it. i have seen a low voltage concern on a 73 where it would spin over like everythig was ok, but would not start due to batt voltage dropping below 9.5 volts.

sounds like a cam sensor. i think you can get one as cheap as 60 to 80 bucks if you shop around. when the tach does not move, that is a tell tell sign of no signal from cam sensor.
