is it a no start condition or a no crank condition, if its a no crank check ur starter, either tap it or replace it, if its a no start check ur fuel pressure, or fuel pump fuse.

Yeah what he says. Also, after enough failed cranking, you might have lost oil coating and thus compression. Try squirting a few drops of oil down each primary barrel. Crank a few turns. Then floor it and keep it floored until it starts (do not pump). It might smoke upon startup, but it will clear up (after it turns your garage into 19th century London )

Verify that the plugs are sparking. If nothing has been done to the distributor to change the timing, then it may be flooded. Dump a couple caps full of motor oil down the small barrels in the car. Then try it again. If it starts then, let it warm up then remove the plugs and clean them off or replace them.
