the fuel system might have air in the lines from running dry. try leaving the key in the ON position without trying to start it for a while which should let the electric fuel pump push fuel into the lines. then try to start the car. dont hold the starter on for more that 5-10 seconds in a half minute frame due to the danger of burning up your starter motor. if the engine starts, great! if not, keep reading.
try looking for blown fuses!
it may have trash in the fuel filter which can be blocking the flow of fuel. when you run out of gas in a vehicle that old, all the trash that has accumulated over the years can enter the fuel line, and cause blockage, and even stalling. if you replace the filter and it fixes the problem, then good. again, if not, keep on reading!
you may need to drain the tank and clean the screen on the pickup of the electric fuel pump. it is accesible by lifting up the rear seat cushon and pulling away the felt. please be smart when working with fuel tanks and gasoline! if you clean the screen and it helps, then great! i have a few more tricks if it doesnt, but you must email me for them.

How many pounds can you lift with a 28 inch crank type handle turning an 8 inch round cylinder attached by a rope with a force of 50 foot pounds?
The question was going along so nicely there, until it got to the very end, and thenshot itself in the foot with "foot pounds"."Foot pounds" is a torque, not a force.-- If you apply 50 pounds of force at the end of the crank, that 50 pounds becomes175 pounds of force at the surface of the 8-inch cylinder, because the mechanicaladvantage of the crank/cylinder arrangement is 28/8 = 3.5 .-- If you apply 50 foot-pounds of torque at the end of the crank, then the force is50 ft-lb/28 inches = 50 lb x 12 in/28 in = 21 3/7 pounds .Now, the same mechanical advantage of 3.5 gives you 75 pounds at the hub.What a difference a unit makes !
