The diagram below may help you.
When you say "won't start", do you mean it:
  • doesn't crank at all,
  • cranks OK but doesn't start,
  • cranks OK, starts but then cuts out.
Most 304 non-start problems are due to faulty coil, ignition module, hall effect sensor in the distributor, battery, fuel pump etc.

Have you replaced the Key Head Recently ?
