ok Here is what I would do. Pull the plugs and take a look. Probably need to replace because the are fouled. The colot of the spark plugs will tell you a lot. Then once plugs are replaced check the points and the points gap (probably fine). Next check the timing. Once you have done all that I would suggest geting out your vaccuum gauge and tack/dwell meter then your shop manual and start adjusting the carb.

Elimanate all the other possiblities first. Such as plugs points and timing then head back to the carb.

Now just for your records. This is my starting proceedure. If the truck has not been run for a day. Pull choke out, pump gas pedal 3 times hit starter button. This ususally works for me on the first try and for sure on the second. However once my truck warms up I push the choke in and run it. For starting the truck once she has been run. I eleminat the choke and just hit the gas three times and then the starter pedal.

Hope this helps! Let us know how things go.
