You'll need to determine if it's fuel or spark. SOme of these earlier cars had trouble with the wiring right at the distributor. If there's no spark, that's where I'd start to look. Also you'll need to check the coil, or maybe just grab one at the junkyard and try it. After that, you'll need to go after the fuel system and make sure the pumps are running. If the tank's low, it could just be the in-tank pump. The main one ought to noticeably buzz upon turning the key.
Replace the plugs, cap and rotor anyway if they're old. They're not helping. And you're sure the timing belt did not break? Even new ones can break.
