Neutral safety switch will keep it from cranking. Definitely do some quick checks of the ignition and fuel delivery.

If you have a timing light, the fastest check is to clamp it to the primary wire on the distributor and see if you get a steady stream of flashes or if it's skipping a few beats.

Have an assistant listen for a hum from the fuel pump when the key is first turned (it's by the back wheels) to get a quick feeling for fuel delivery.

Then start tracking down current flow and/or replacing parts in whichever system is the most non-functional.

Won't hurt to find a pick-n-pull that can supply a few key relays and modules. Nor would it hurt for you to research those terms used in macdrone's post.
