Well Thomas, have you verified that the fuel line is free of any obstructions? If this isn't the cause, do you have a fuel filter before or after the fuel pump that might be clogged? Try to disconnect the fuel pump inlet at the carburetor to see if you have fuel. The other causes are more severe - camshaft gear (front of engine) has disintegrated. Try removing the oil filler cap or distributor and see if there's any movement in the valve train and/or distributor since the fuel pump is driven off the camshaft. The distributor shaft could also be broken and not delivering the spark although you did say you had no fuel. If you pass all of these tests, then maybe you just need a complete tuneup.
