Won't start new points, plugs, wires, cap, and condenser. Got spark still won't start. Drove it to Ohio from New Mexico no issues parked it 8 years, got it out won't start. Poured marvel mystery in plug holes and carb filled both bowls with gas plugs are bone dry cranking it over stopped turned key again nothing no click no noise nothing.
