I just bought a 1982 ford bronco and I test drove it twice befor I bought it. Every time I stared it befor I bought it, it started every time with out a problem. I bought it drove it home it was a 50 mile drive. I get home shut it off and 5 mins later I try to start it and it wont start. I let it sit overnight and it took 4 or 5 times and it started agin and I drove it for 10 mins and broght it back home and it wont start agin. It will turn over but it wont fire.

When it wont start, check the fuel pressure and check for spark on ALL cylinders.

Does it start with gas dumped in throttle body?

I am assuming it is some kind of electrical problem, because I can smell gas while tring to start it. I have changed a lot of electrical parts so far including the crankshaft position sensor, plugs and wires, ignition manifold, and coil. What would make it start everyonce in a while other than that? Loose wire, bad connection, bad wire. How should I check the fuel pressure? Thank you for your support.
