You need to swap to pony wheels, you get a 5 hp gain by swapping to pony wheels but that is moot if it don't run.
Seriously, give us a pic of the engine compartment, not that it will help, I just like to feel like I'm there. This year I think will have a dura spark ignition system so our cranks but no start checklist will not be very useful. I would start by inspecting the ignition and the control box on the inner fender, it's a aluminum box that control spark and stuff, look for a sticky substance coming from under it.
do you have a repair manual for this car?

Another question, did the car run and drive or is this something you just acquired?
