I was driving down the road at about 25mph when the car died. I pulled to the side of the road and tried to restart it. It cranks but won't start. I checked all the fuses/hoses etc. I'm wondering could it be the fuel pump? It's a 1975 1.8. I'm stuck at work for the next two days but I thought maybe you guys could give me some troubleshooting tips to try when I get home. Thanks!

Listen for the fuel pump. If you hear it move on to spark. Are you still running points? This happened to me a couple of years ago. The little tit on the points that causes them to open and close broke off. Check the easy stuff first. Good luck.
