You can do of a dew different ways by sound or sight start the van and remove the plug wires one by one and listen for changes in the sound of the motor or you can remove the plugs from the block and keep the wire connected to see if you have spark that way..just use insulated plyers when doing this to avoid shock

First check the engine itself to ensure good sealing (compression). if that's ok, then check spark/fuel. Ensure all firing, see if any fouled, set mixture for highest vac. Check timing initial & total when all in. Start there.
