Um. You live in Canadia...and this is a sub forum for the SE US. If you post in the General 2nd Gen area you will probably get a quicker response! =)

Make sure you have a fully charged battery, with good cranking amps, check your starter grounds, and make sure it getting the power from the battery. With old cars sometimes the ground connections will rust, and ruin your current flow. Just take a wire brush to them to clean them up, and you should be ace. Also double check your battery connections for rust aswell.
