Check your battery cable connections and clean them if they are corroded or loose. Replace or re-solder your fuel pump relay and you'll probably get the car running again.
IF that does not help, check for spark by removing the coil wire from the distributor cap, and observe the spark from the end of it to something metal on the car- don't hold it as you crank the car. A strong blue-white spark should be immediately apparent.
Good luck.
