More info would really help, I did read your other thread and it appears it was working, got parked for a couple hours, and then would not start.

Pour a little splash of gas down the carb and see if that gets it to fire at all. If it does, you know for sure then that it is a fuel issue. Could be something clogging the carb, so even though you have fuel getting to the carb it can't get through the carb to the motor.

The other thought would be something in the ignition like the points or condensor. It might have spark, but if the points are screwed up it would be like it was out of time, or the spark is really weak.

MEPR: Man, my 4x4 makes all other LUVs look good

When i parked i knew my gas was low but i had enough to get into town and when i parked i turned the key off and it died. when i went back to get in it it acted like it was out of gas so i put some in the tank and then put some in the carb. to get it to start and it still wouldn't start so i checked the firing and it looked like it was gettin fire but i went ahead and put some new plugs in it while i was checking the fire and i guess i am going to go to the distributor,rotor, and wires next. In case the fire is not strong enough
