Starter problem & distributor problem act very different from each other.

Does the starter spin the engine? If not, the distributor can't be at fault.

If the starter spins the engine but it doesn't fire up & start, then you need to determine if it's lacking fuel or lacking spark.

Which way does it struggle?
