    I'm pretty sure I've figured it out without actually doing it yet I think my distributor timing is way off I'll have to mess with it the morning and c if it starts

    Pull a plug wire and check if it arcs while someone cranks the motor.

    If it does have spark, make sure its actually getting fuel.

    If it is getting fuel check the timing.

    Double check that the wires are in the correct firing order.
