Title is going in the mail today. The guy said he bought the car back in 2000 from the original owner for $4000. He said he drove the hell out of it and ended up replacing the motor at one point. He can't remember when he had it done or how many miles ago. He said the a/c compressor probably needs to be replaced.

I have a nice size list of things to look at.
I'm going to start with ignition like the FSM says. Because these cars use a distributer, the trailing coil works like a crank angle sensor (tach also runs off coil on FBs). So if the trailing igniter or coil is bad, the car will not run.

It Runs!!!!
Thanks to Ian, Zico, Simon, and Eric
We traced it to a short in the 20a main fuse. I started disconnecting relays and it turned out one of the relays was shorting on it's body. I opened it up and a screw in the relay had worked it way out. I screwed it back in and the car ran.
We had to mess with the idle, a/f, and replace spark plugs and fuel filter. Simon drained the really bad gas. We cleaned the cap and rotor. Put fuel injector cleaner in the tank.
What still needs to be done:
-clean air flow meter
-check timing
-replace cap and rotor
-replace air filter (very hard to find)
-run seafoam through the car
-change all fluids including tranny and rear
-grease everything
-clean interior (carpet is worse than most cars in the salvage yard)
