take off the intake manifold and check for proper O-ring seal. Also look over the manifold for possible cracks.

hell, just might be flooded. check for spark and make sure your getting fuel to the carb. if so, then push start it. i had the same prob after mine sat for a month with atf in it. just got a friend to push my car with his car while i left it in second gear and the key to the on position. pumped the gas and BAM. she fired up has hasnt had a prob since!!!! (knock on wood)
