The last time that happened to me, it was the battery, the positive post had broken off, but it wasn't visually evident.

You say the motor turns over, right? Well, if it is, does the tach move at all when it is turning over? If the tach just sits there and does not move one bit, it is most likely the ignition module. The tach doesnt move because it is not getting any signal from the distributor due to the ignition module crapping out. My advice is to buy a new module from GM, as the parts store brands only last a few months i most cases. I hope this helps.
