There are plenty of posts on adjusting the mixture with a dwell meter or a meter with a duty cycle, try a Search.

To get it to start, push the air sensor plate down maybe 1/2" with a stick while someone cranks the starter. If the car starts, this sort of verifies that the mixture is the problem. Then you can richen the mixture, going 1/8 turn (CW looking down) at a time and trying to start.

If it won't start with the plate pushed down, then you need to verify that the pump is running, check fuel pressure, etc.
