Sounds like you are not getting spark, check for spark. Check the distributor rotor, it may be burnt threw the center grounding out the ignition. You would see a carbon spot on the underneath side of the rotor in the center. Also It could be the coil, ignition control module, or the coil pick up that can be tested at an auto parts store. The coil puck up you gently pull on the wires to see if there broken or not. All these components are under the distributor cap, except the coil which is on top of the distributor cap. Check the distributor cap out closely also.

Make sure #1 cylinder is on compression stroke when timing marks align and the rotor is pointing to #1.If you had distributor out may be off 180 degrees
