320i turns over but wont start

[jcc6655]

I have an 82 230i 1.8 that the starter went out.. well got a new starter installed and it turns and turns and turns but the engine just wont start it wont even try and i used a test light and the coil isnt getting any power.... any suggestions? i dont know much about cars hope its a simple problem as i dont have alot of money which is why im driving an old ass bimmer instead of a newer one
(wouldnt be to bad if it ran properly )
