stalled today, and wouldn't restart. 200 1982

i noticed my car had been idling kinda low for the past week or two. then today i was sitting at a redlight idling at 700 or so, and the enginge dies very suddenly. i tried jiggling fuel pump fuses, which usually works, i even squeezed them for optimum contact. then i unplugged the computer cables under the dash, and hooked them back up. i smell gas when i try to crank it up, so i think its getting fuel. (i normally start with a little bit of throttle.) so besides the normal issues, could it be time for ignition parts or what? i've got small melty spots on my plug wires, but they dont look too horrible. does anyone know a new trick that has somehow stayed beyond my grasp? help me out!
