I purchased a 1983 last year for my son that the PO could not start. Turned out to be a common problem, ignition switch.
Quick easy test, turn the ignition switch on but do not try to start. Check the ignition coil for 12 volts to ground, if you don't, it's the switch. If you have the voltage then try and start the engine. Do not turn the ignition switch off when you release the key, leave it turned on, then check again for voltage at the coil. I fould that I would have voltage if I turned it on, but would loose it when I attempted to start.
Drove me nuts for a couple of days, tried everything. O-scoped the sensors, checked wiring, looked for tach bounce, fuel pump, DME (PO supplied that), grounds, coil, relays and anything else that I could think of to look. Worked for me, costs nothing to try.
Good luck.
