    Is it even "sputtering" like its trying to start?

    If its turning over, your battery is fine.

    Could be:

    Clogged fuel filter
    Bad spark plug(s)
    Bad ignition module...

    Hmm.. can't remember if they had distributors back then... lol

    Go get a book: chiltons makes good ones
