I assume you mean it won't start but will turn over with the starter???? You said you have vacuum and spark. If it threw black smoke and quit it would be like you pulled the choke out-totally flooded. Float may have stuck open in the carb and now the plugs are wet fouled. Pull plugs and spin engine with starter to clear cylinders. Clean plugs with brake cleaner or equiv. then blow dry. While plugs are out get to #1 TDC and check rotor is at #1. Check float in carb. When all is back together and seems OK try to start it with NO choke--then while it is cranking over pull choke part way. You might squirt just a teeny bit of starting fluid in one cylinder to see if it wants to fire.
