Engine won't start

Well she is driving me crazy. I have her turning over coughing and spitting gas out the carb. Every once and a while (during cranking, she will spit fire out the carb. It seems she is so close to actually running that it must be a timing error on my part.

When I find no cylinder has pressure I then make sure the distributor has number 1 post facing towards number one cylinder and then just turn the distributor to a position that just opens the contacts. This seems to be the point that the engine near fires to run but just does not get it done.

I'm not a mechanic of any sort so I hope I am explaining my problem well enough for someone out there to guide me along. I figure tomorrow is my last warm enough day to get this done and then I put her to bed till warm spring shows up.:banghead:

Thanks so much for all input to my wiring issues. The engine is now turning over and throwing fire balls out the carb and the manifolds!:blob: I suspect that by this weekend I might even get her to run. Well off to another thread.:burnout:

Thanks again!
