It migt be that your starter is weak, I had the same problem in my 81 Chev so I replace the starter and it never happened again!

What is it doing cranking over and w/n start or just won't crank at all/nothing when key is turn to cranking position??

Starter turns over fine. Acts like it's not getting any fuel. If it was carburated i'd say it was vapor locked but it's not.

Do below to determine if its fuel or spark problem
Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, Do you hear the fuel pump come On when you turn key on? If not check fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay if okay-check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,cap and rotor,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it and keep testing

How does one check fuel pressure? I'm having similar issues with my 89 mustang...
