I got compression.. I got the spark plugs sparkin'.. I got a hot wire going from the hot side of the battery to the positive terminal of the coil.. I got the points set... i know my coil, points, cap, rotor and condenser are good because they were pulled from a perfectly running engine..

I dump some gas in the carb... crank it.. no pop.

Timing perhaps?

an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.
