1985 3.2 won't start

Just picked up an '85 Carrera. Black/Black. beautiful looking car. I'm really excited about it as it's a great looking car (even with the whale tail, which I'm not too fond of.), but I'm having some problems getting it started. PO stated that the car started up just fine until a couple weeks ago, and then it sputtered and shut off.

Here is what I know so far:

1. Has spark from coil, and plugs
2. Has been converted to MSD ignition
3. PO syas it may be a relay issue - claims "somebody" told him that
4. Exhaust shows residue of having been running rich
5. I tried some starting fluid, and nothing happened

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
