Have you checked the points? make sure there is a good sized gap - some say about the thickness of a business card, maybe a little more.
While you have the distributor cap off, make sure the contact points in the cap are clean as well as on the the rotor.
Make sure the plug and coil leads are properly seated.
Is fuel pump good? Shop manual gives method of checking that you have proper pressure in the injector loop.
If you have fuel & spark she should run!
