You mean this is the nova Gsi 8 vavle engine? The dizzy is forever giving trouble on the small block 8 valves. Check your dizzy cap, if its okay try changing the full dizzy unit. I know they're expensive new so if you could get a lend of one, you'd know if its the prob

remove a spark plug... connect it back to the lead you disconnect from it... and rest it against the exhaust... get someone else to turn the engine over and you see if the plug is sparking... is it sparking? NOTE dont touch the plug when the person is turning the engine over...

secondly there is what looks like a tyre valve at the drivers side of the fuel rail... press it... does fuel come out?
