check the usual culprits.

Battery, Grounds, Download the manual in my sig, cap and rotor, coil, coil lead. pretty much everything from the battery to the spark plugs.

check if distributor cap is loose. Check wiring connecting to plugs and from battery.

Have you looked at the spark from the coil lead? Pull coil lead from dizzy, place close(1/2", 13mm) to ground and crank it a bit. Should have a nice fat blue/white spark.

I would try your spark plugs first and also blow some air into the cylinder evaporate all that gas in there. I am sure the car maybe flooded. Double check your timing also make sure the timing belt hasn't skipped.

Mine had issues starting when my distributor cap was flooded with oil.
