Hi,
When you have a crank no-start condition, it is usually one of two things. Either the ignition spark is lost, or fuel pressure is lost.
Here is what I need you to try. See if it will start if you use starting fluid. If it starts and then stalls, we will know its fuel related. If there is no change, then I need you to check for an ignition spark.
Here is a link that explains how to check:

Try this and let me know the results. Also, pay attention to see if the tachometer is moving at all when cranking the engine.
Take care,
joe
