Check the basics before tearing that thing apart. (If you haven't already!)

The engine needs 4 things, spark, fuel, and compression, and timing. If it ran earlier, and the bolts on the distributor are tight, timing is not likely to be the problem. If it ran earlier, sudden loss of compression is not likely the problem, either.

Check to see if you have a good hot (blue, not red) spark at each plug. If not, dig into the distributor and find out why. (Condenser, points, rotor, cap, wires, connections, etc.)

Make sure gas is getting TO the carb BEFORE you start taking it apart! Loosen the fuel line at the carb and see if fuel runs out. If not, then you're either out of fuel (Don't laugh, it's happened to lots of folks who wont admit it!) or something is plugged shut. If you have fuel, but no fuel flow, check the valve under the tank and the sediment bowl and screen under the tank. If the tank has rust or debris in it, you may have to remove the valve assembly to get it un-plugged.

If you have fuel flow, drain the carb, re-set the screws to specs, and give it a try. If that doesn't do it, you may have to yank the carb and open it.
