I've never replaced the plugs, so I'll be giving that a try soon. I have no idea what's in there now.
However, I did get a good start just a bit ago. Temperature warmed up to around 20 and the car was sitting in bright sunlight, so maybe that contributed to the start. Temperature went from 47 and heavy rain Tuesday night to below zero Wednesday morning, so maybe some condensation got into the fuel lines??? I have added some gasline antifreeze to the tank and driven the car around some, and it restarted several times.
Thanks, all for the suggestions.

Kneal, I had a no start a while back with the ol Pearl
beast & it turned out that the Bosch plugs I was using
were not rated cold enough for the conditions. Weather
the previouse week was nearer 40 deg's......& in a
week it went to minus deg weather.
I dropped in 8 OE dealer plugs & it fired rite up.
Mind you the Bosch plugs I had in there beforehand
were only 500 miles old.
Funny conclusion to the plugs is.....I saved
them....since they only had 500 miles on them. So I
had the chance to reuse them on a friends car after I
did a motor swap & cut to a cold Maine morn the car
wouldn't start...I told the guy to yank the plugs, (at
this time I had talked to Keith about a cheaper
alternative to the expensive OE dealer plugs & he said
to use Autolight 103's)...so when the guy called me I
told him, as I noted above...yank the plugs & put some
AL 103's in. Well the car fired rite up. I told the
guy to toss those Bosch plugs in the Ocean!
