Trouble Starting 1973 Alfa Spider Ineozone

Hello all, I just bought a 73 alfa spider ineozone, and I had it gone through by John's Alfa Romance in L.A., and it was given a clean bill of health, and after two short drives, it won't start. Its not the battery, and the engine is trying to turn over, but it just keep going (rin nin nin nin) when I turn the key and won't start. Any tips on where to start trouble shooting this?

Thanks!

Could it be I'm out of gas and my fuel gauge is off?

Pull the plugs out and see if the're fouled (for a start)

This looks like a sort-of double post with your other one about starting. Check what I wrote in the other thread.

Does the fuel low pressure warning light act normally? If so, check for spark first. Cleaning the plugs might help as well. Get a can of starting fluid. If it won't fire with that, then the problem is definately electrical.
