I drove it home and was working fine. The next morning I went to get in it and itkeeps trying to turn over but it won't. Now I have changed out the plugs, wires, distrbuter, distrbuter head, distrbuter button, the computer, the distrbuter coil, the, coil plate, and I unplugged the battery to let the computer reset before and after I changed it out. Please tell me you all know what is wrong. Thank you.

Do below to determine if its fuel or spark then comeback

Get a starting fluid or ether and spray into the carb or the throttle body on an EFI. Did it start and die? If not disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
