Sounds like fuel filter is plugged up. If you haven't replaced it I would start there.
You could check the fuel pressure 1st but a filter is only $10 and 15 minutes to try.

Take off the distributor cap and check the rotor & cap.....
Also might want to take off the distributor itself, give it a twist by hand to make sure the bearing isn't binding.
