intermittent problem starting

I have an intermittent problem starting my 2 litre petrol '81 air-cooled van. It turns over but does not fire. I have replaced the battery, plugs, ht leads, distributor cap and rotor arm and checked all the electrical connections and I am still having problems, what should I replace next?

I fitted new struts on my van bought from the same place as your. Difficult job to fit with the strength of the struts as you have to compress them slightly to fit them. It is a job for 2 people
