 Well lets see, you have gas, you have power, but do you have spark ???.

Turn the engine over by hand and lign up the timing mark on the crank shaft to TDC. make sure the cam marks lign up as well, pull the number #1 spark plug to confirm the piston is at the top, check the distributor to make sure #1 it is seated all the waY IN and #2 that the rotor is aligned with the #1 plug wire.

If it does'nt start after that then start checking each plug wire to see if you have spark, if not you might have an issue in the dizzy or coil.

Just take your time there are no short cuts to tracing back issues, you really need to confirm the basic's.
