Hi guys!

You all wouldn't believe how DIRTY I am!! I MEAN, I've been working on this car ALL DAY!

First off...the oil change. Can you believe that there was nearly 3 gallons of fuel and oil in there??!! *woof* A little grit..nothing too exciting..

Next...all new plugs...perfectly gapped...nice and sparky!
As you should know...the car has all new cap, rotor, plug wires...points are also perfectly gapped...dwell? It's all good...

SO.....did it start??? NO!!

Tried Chuck's idea of moving the distributor around to advance/retard the timing....didn't matter..(in this case)..

Also...re-tried the ether test...no good..just stinky..

So..what's the car DOING??? The car TRIES to start, really, I think. It slightly coughs, and chuggs somewhat, but of course, never starts..

So...maybe the charge isn't strong enough??? Ignition coil?? This coil DOES look pretty OLD. EVERYTHING else ignition related seems wonderful....

I also tried undoing the fuel lines to the carbs, and cranking it again to see if it helped (because before it seemed to help)...well today, it made no difference....

Is it a fuel problem?????

I don't know....that CLIFF is sounding real good right about now....
