Car wont start after sitting all winter

Ive recharged my battery and the car does crank and crank but just wont kick in. The car has been sitting since January and was started atleast once a month. The car has a 305tpi with 23,000 miles on it, ive only owned it since Jan. I think the cyliniode may be burnt out.... but i dont know if this engine has one or not. The headlights stay on while cranking... also there is a strong gas odor from the cranking... i need help with this one guys. Thanks for your time

Have you checked for spark? Fuel pressure?
