Where have you checked it for spark? Have a look inside the dizzy. Make sure it's turning while it's cranking. Next look at the integrity of the cap and rotor. If that looks good, the most likely cause will be the ignition module. However, there's always the coil and the distributor pick up as well.

usually it will be the solenoid. Thats what i would check first. Its a real easy fix. If not that, check the TFi module on the distributor.
