Did it even try to fire? Burps or farts? If nothing at all, it's an ignition issue of some sort.


Start with the OVP relay as suggested above. They have a habit of going belly up in random ways and it's a good idea to replace with a new one if it's even suspect.


Next would be to check for spark from the coil wire going to the distributor. If you have spark there, but no spark at the cylinders, time for a new cap and rotor. If no spark at the coil wire, you could have a bad coil, bad crank sensor, or bad EZL.
