No spark or questionable spark, I always clean the points with a points file, (available at NAPA or anywhere parts are sold), and then set them to factory specs. If the distributor has not been moved in recent history, I would leave the timing alone to see if the engine would run. If spark is good but no fire, I would prime the carb with a couple tablespoons of gas right down the throat (like Mike said ^), close the choke and crank. IF spark is bad, then I would go for new parts.
