Take a plug out, refit to the lead and earth it to the block to check if your getting a spark;)

could be ignition module, crank sensor or the distributor itself. Give the distributor (not the cap) a couple of taps, see if that helps.

If you've got a rough idea what you're doing with a multimeter it'll be pretty easy to trace :)
