I had a 76 Corvette with the same problem. I went to my car from the train station and it would turn over beautifully... fuel got dumped into the carb... I was just pissed off so I started fixing it american style. Got the bluntest object I could find in my car and started smacking things with it. Smacked the distributor a few times.... got depressed and tried to crank over my engine one last time. Fired right up.

Turned out it was a bad ignition coil. Got a new MSD coil for 40 bucks..installed it in less than 20 minutes..and never had the problem again. 3000 dollars in other repairs and I kissed the piece of crap barbie car goodbye for good though.

Try that technique if it ever happens again.
