73CamaroSS is right, you need to isolate the problem. Check for fuel, when you move the throttle does the accel pump squirt gas? Pull a wire off a plug and check your spark. What type of ignition do you have? Points, check the points and the condensor, dirty points or a shorted condensor will stop the spark. HEI, check the inside of the cap for carbon tracking, the center of the rotor for burning, check the continuity of the wires to the module, they are known to break from flexing with the vacuum advance, connect an ohm meter to the pickup coil you should get 500-1500k reading on a good one. If all else fails get the module checked, many times I see modules installed without thermal transfer grease, this will cause them to heat up and die.
