[urq] '83 UrQ non-start... need help, please

Unfortunately the 'ol girl is acting up a little bit lately.

2 weeks ago the slave cylinder died, leaving my dad stranded at work. Fast
forward to yesterday, we loaded the car onto the trailer and brought it
home so I could rebuild the slave.

The good news:  After 2 hours and enough swearing to make a sailor blush in
shame, the clutch is now functioning as it should.

The bad news: The car won't start. When he parked it two weeks ago, it was
running fine.

After doing some checks, it's looking like I"m getting no spark. I smell
fuel, and the pump is running... so I'm assuming something ignition-wise
went wrong.

Where do I start looking? any fuses or relays that might have died for no
apparent reason leaving us in this pickle? Car is currently on the trailer,
and would like to get it running again before I head south again... or just
push it off into the quarry behind the house as I've had my fill of car
stuff this week... lol.

Any help is MUCH appreciated! Thanks, all!
