If its turning over the starter is working.
Check your points,plugs, rotor and cap.
check fuel filter make sure gas is making its way up to the carb.
If it has fuel and spark check timing make sure it hasnt jumped time.

Ditto, if the starter is turning over well its ok. Also check your wiring for corrosion, clean the grounds etc.Check the plugs and work backwards from there.

Unless she's cranking real slow, she might be flooded--try to crank it after several hours rest (could be the car or you). Also I highly recommend Starting fluid sprayed down the carb. Itwill give the cylinders something immediately to fire off when cranked if any kind of spark is there. Otherwise, as already mentioned,it's either spark, timing or fuel problems.
