You're probably not getting spark to sparkplugs. First, check inside of distributor cap for moisture. If dry, then use a voltmeter or probe testor to test primary ignition circuit. Start at the keyswitch. With key turned to ON, and one probe on chassis, check each terminal--all the way to the ingnition coil. Should have constant DC voltage to distributor housing and intermittant voltage, with engine turning, at coil. If not, backtrack.
