New starter, ignition control module, new spark plug wires, but fuel pump works, fuel filter clean. It turns over but will not start. It does not have crank sensor it is too old for that, that's how distributor seems to be okay. New battery.

Hi,

This could be a few different issues. However, we need to narrow it down. Here is what I need you to do:

Using starting fluid, see if it starts for a couple of seconds. If it does and then stalls, we know it is fuel related. If there is no change, it is likely ignition related.

At that point, we need to check for spark to the plugs. Here is a link that explains how that is done:

Let me know what you find. Also, let me know if you have checked for diagnostic trouble codes.

Take care,

Joe
