Grave digging isn't going to find you the solution.

Diagnostics will.

Do as RonJ has outlined, TEST the spark plugs (don't just unplug the wires), Check timing (Ignition and mechanical), test your distributor coil; etc.

Ultimately, if you still can't get it working, create a thread outlining everything you've done, be precise.

Please create your own thread rather than post in this old one. When you make a new thread, describe the problem in detail and also give details about your set up.
