1980 plymouth volari will not start

Does it catch then die when you release the key? that's the usual failure mode and indicates a bad ballast resistor (fortunately a cheap part)

..."fixed" a '69 Valiant once with a shop rag and paper clip; there's a few girls out there that still think I'm the real life MacGuyver for that one ...

If it's getting gas and it's getting spark, then it's a timing issue.

I suspect otherwise, though. Does it even sputter at all?

What makes you think it is getting gas and spark?
