I was just driving down the road & it stopped. I had just bought it when it did. I replaced the plugs, wires, dist. Cap, rotor button & the ignition switch, ignition coil. It just tries to crank with no catch. I do smell gas, I do have spark to the ignition coil & spark plugs. This is a 6 cyl.

any idea why it wont run?

thanks

Try using carb cleaner into the throttle body-if it starts and die-start checking the fuel pressure and for an injection pulses while engine being crank over.

This is a carb unit not fuel injected. Where is the throttle body for me to do carb cleaner?

Thanks for all your help this has been very frustrating!

No EFI you don't need the carb cleaner -pull the throttle back the accelarator pump should squirt fuel if not-check the fuel pressure-fuel pump could be bad

Also look for spark-disconnect a sparkplug wire ground it to the engine and have helper crank engine over-do you have spar?
