Hello and good day,
My 86 oldsmobile delta 88 won't start. It turns over but won't catch. I replaced the distributor cap and spark plugs, but it keeps turning. I have gas. Could you please help?

Did you visually check for spark at the plugs? Also, use a gage and check fuel pressure. Some of the national brand autostores used to loan out a fuel pressure gage, if you don't have one. Any codes, with obd1, you can check possible codes, yourself.
