O.K., I have a problem - not starting

If it's not getting fire, the first thing to check is the power wire to your distributor. Make sure it's plugged in tight. I had a cat walking around under my hood once and pulled the wire loose.

My FIL had his 93 GMC w/ 250K miles quit going up the road because the wires, cap & rotor had been on the truck for who knows how long (maybe since new) that the wires had no way of making contact from all the corrosion on cap and rotor. Needless to say I gave it tune up and he said it ran like a new truck.
