Taking the input line off the fuel distributor shows a steady stream of fuel coming from the pump when my son cranks it over. Could this be a electrical problem???? Any ideas? What now????

It sounds like a fuel related problem from your earlier post. Even though you have fuel coming out of the line. You need to check to see if it's the right pressure. I would get a gauge and check the pressure to at least rule out the pump.

There is a rubber vacuum hose from idle valve to the bottom of intake manifold. Very common for this hose to come off & then car won't start. UNDER the center of manifold, somewhat hard to reach impossible to see!
