Does the tachometer needle bounce while you are cranking? If not, look for ignition problems. Either way, let us know if it does or not.
Pull the coil wire off of the distributor, check for spark.
If you get spark...
Have somebody listen in the trunk for the fuel pump. Open the floor (spare tire) to hear better. It only runs while cranking the engine, but if the ignition is not firing, it may not run because its not getting that signal.
My fuel pump failed suddenly, just would not start pumping.
