LG,
You have lots of good responses here. While some may be better than others, they all have one thing in common. Do the diagnostics. Always start with the basics.
You say you tried starting fluid. (I have seen so many good engines destroyed with that stuff that we don't even have in our our shelves.)
Did you actually check for spark?
Like pull a wire (you can't pull the coil wire, it doesn't have one), put a phillips screwdriver in the boot and hold it near metal - like 1/4" - and crank? If you can't see a good hot spark, find out why. In the GM books, there is a diagnostic tree for HEI.
If you do have good spark, now take you timing light. (If you have an engine with a distributor, you should have at least access to a timing light.) And hook it to any plug. Open the airfilter housing and point it at the injector body. When you crank, there should be fuel coming out of one of the injectors. If you move the pickup to the next plug in the order you should now see fuel from the other.
If that all works as it should, you may have much bigger problems than you can fix in the driveway.
