1988 16V .. no start. ideas?

If you think you have fuel, then I'd be checking spark. Maybe see if the
coil has 12V and go from there. You can feed it 12V directly from the
battery. I have a nice twin alligator ended wire with a fuse and a switch
built in for just that purpose. Remember to detach it after you turn the
key off though.
