Steve,
You gotta start with the basics...fire, fuel and air!
Confirm whether you have sufficient spark at the plugs first....if not, check
the dist cap and the distributor "innards" (rotor, points, cond) and outside
connection to the coil - then the coil itself....remember, 70, 80, 90% (pick
one!) of all fuel problems turn out to be ignition related!
What could have happened over the winter??? Lot's....mice love to chew on
wires; moisture will oxidize worn connectors....
Good luck,
Chip Krout
