In your 5-10-03 post you said that you couldn't even get it to start with starting fluid, after you tried tow (push) starting the car?
Have you done the basic such as test the compression in all the cylinders? If you got spark and spray starting fluid into the airbox it should start unless something like no compression is the problem.
I had a 1974 911. When it wouldn't start I would always check the point in the distributor. Have you check the point and determine if they are gap right? Also check for pitting and see if they are burned. Points get burned when people turn on the car without starting the engine just so that they can listen to the radio.
With the new electronic ignition in the newer carsw, people forget about the maintenace required for an older car. Most people don't even know what points are.
