Some mroe background please. Why did you do all that fixing? What else have you fixed, how long have you owned the car, when was the last major service (water pump, plugs, wires, disty cap and rotor, belts and timing) etc.
I would suggest you start by looking for vacuum leaks. If it will crank, but not stay cranked that is the most common issue I've seen.

Look into new wires too. You should do all those things at once so that you replace them all at the same time every time.
