I still didn't get a start, but I did check for spark. Had none.

So I checked the distributor cap, and it was obviously scarred and needing to be replace (and the rotor too).

Could getting a new belt have exacerbated the distributor cap/rotor issue?

Also, funny story. As I was removing the air filter to get access to the distributor, I found out that some animal had been shoving moss into my inlet hose for the air filter. I don't know when, or how long, but I suspect it was relatively recent as the moss did not look old/dried out. It went from the air filter box TO the radiator.

No signs of animal scratches though, but it was obviously not normal.
