My car has been sitting for several years and first issue was needing a new starter, so am able to get it turned over, but even with started fluid, not a sputter. Has anybody found a good step by step troubleshooting guide? I want to take a logical approach rather than just start randomly testing/replacing. 

318 / Auto with converted mopar ignition module.

Maybe this helps:

Also, make sure you inspect or just replace the ballast resistor (cheap) and if it has been updated to an electronic ignition the ECU box.
