wont turn over?
flat battery!
if u mean it turns over but wont start?
is it not gettin a spark or is it not getting fuel?
try the coil or ingnition module, fuel pump

i had the same problem with my nova gsi all i done is take the 13mil nut from under the dizzy cap took one of the leads off the spark plug and then switch the ignition on and turn the bottom of the dizzy slow and it sparked then i checked the cam on the side nearest to the dizzy and it was snapped on the bearing try that but just take off the rocker cover to check.

check that the lead from the coil to the distributor cap is connected properly. If it is, ya plugs might be f**ked or ya coil. If it still wont have it, try a set of new plugs, if that doesnt work, get ya'self a new coil.
