When all else is eliminated, check what's left. Are the plug wires connected to the proper plugs? Firing order is 1-3-4-2, distributor rotation is counterclockwise (Remember the #1 cylinder is at the rear of the engine.) One possibility is that the distributor has been removed then reinstalled with the gear teeth out of sync. Make sure the rotor is aligned with the correct tower on the cap when that cylinder is supposed to fire. I assume you checked the points gap. Fuel filter could be clogged. Even if you're getting some fuel, it might not be enough to make it run.
Good luck - sounds like fun! :)
