Well, thanks for everyone's suggestions. I think I found the culprit. I checked for spark, and it seems fine.
After turning the key, I listened to the electric fuel pump. It started making duck-like noises, and after a few twists of the key (and probably charging the fuel system), I can get the engine to run for a second or two. In my mind, it's the fuel pump.
These old 300 six-cylinder engines just go and go and go. 270k+ miles and still strong, no rebuild. Granted, it rarely sees anything above about 3500 rpm. A machine shop said I would wear out before it did.
