Unhappy Need Help w/ 88 N/A

I recently bought a 88 n/a. I cant get it to start, it turns over and thats about it, i put a new battery in it, changed the spark plugs, filters, and i'm not sure what else i should do, I love the car but i'm not excited about the idea of buying a new motor. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Compression check, see what you're up against. Are you getting fuel? Does it fire at all? Check compression, if it's within specs (above 85), then move on to the harder stuff, but save yourself a lot of time and just check compression first. (You did make sure you didn't flood it, right?)

What happens if it doesnt fire? what could that mean? mine is having a similar problem and its more in the ignition coils i believe, because they dont get any spark or anything. Any ideas? Here is the link to my post https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...threadid=80436

Anything would help, thanks guys.
