Do you hear the fuel pump run when you turn key on if so check fuel pressure at carb if no fuel at carb than check for dirt in tank and/or fuel filter if you have fuel check for spark at plugs useing a test plug (they are cheep at parts store) if no spark pull dist. Cap and see if rotor is turning if turning check compression if good compression check timing
Ignition timing:
*Set point gap at.020
*Crank engine until #1 piston is up on the
compression stroke
*Loosen distributor and advance or retard as
required
*Set at 4th line before "O" on vibration damper
at 425-450 RPM
