is it getting gas to the carb? they opels should have a clear fuel filter make sure u see gas in it. if u do maybe spray a little starting fluid directly into the carb. or might need new ignition coil if its not getting a spark.. might as well change the distributor cap, rotor, and the condenser too! good luck
