If this is the old style distributor, check the pick up coil (eight star looking device) that connects to the HEI module.
You should see a low resistance with a multi-meter.
It is not uncommon for them to go bad.
Either that or it the ignition module (mounted under the dist. Cap) or the coil.
Good Luck
