Fred,
If you're not sure whether it's a fuel or electrical problem, remove air cleaner, dribble an ounce of gas into the carb. Get in and try to start it. If it's a gas starvation problem, she should fire up and run for a second or two. If no joy, try it one more time before looking for an electrical problem.
I remember years ago a similar problem after I had the corner garage mechanic give my 55 Chev a "tune up". He didn't tighten the screw holding the new condenser in the distributor. Drove me crazy for weeks before we found it.
