I have a 1986 s-10 with a 350 engine swap and a few mods like bigger 355 bore, holley 4 jet carb and accel distributor, I moved to a different house and when I moved here I started my truck twice since I moved here and on the third time it kept cranking and cranking but wouldn't turn over and eventually my battery ran out from cranking it, but I have a good battery and a good starter and solenoid (i get it checked) I was wondering what would be a problem?

No start:

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
