All the above are good suggestions, but a little more history on the engine on "How did we get to here" would help in where to look for the glitch. Was the engine running? Did it stop on its' own, or did you fix something before it stopped?
I suspect ignition problems. Distributor installed out of time, plug wires not on correct plug, if the engine is otherwise healthy. For a high mileage engine that just crapped out, timing chain and gearset likely needs replacement before anything elce will work.
The reluctor coil in the distributor can can go out due to corrosion and age. Better replacing it with a rebuilt rather than screwing with individual parts.
Ditto the shop manual. Manditory if you're going to try any diagnosis.
