if the negative battery wire smokes when trying to start , clean it at the body /engine or where eer itis connected. also make sure there is a battery tpe wire going from engine to battery and engine to frame. then check for fuel and spark. your points shold be set a t 30 degrees dwell and timing somewhere areound 5 degerees btdc shold do ok.
