I have a V8, 289, Sometime the car would not start, I put in a new battery, the oil level is ok. I put in a rebuilt engine 15,000 miles ago.
what else can it cause not to start

Is it cranking? Start with the basics, and work your way up, Last tune up was? Wires plugs ALL filters? If all that is ok, check for a stuck EGR, then test fuel pump pressure, If it won't restart, determine what's missing, the engine needs three things to run, Spark at all plugs, gas to all cylinders, and compression in all cylinders, tho an engine may run lacking one in one cylinder, it won't run very well!
