Hi guys, well, i just got in from installing the new coil/condenser. Still no luck. Its really starting to get discouraging. To be honest, I have no clue where to go from here. When i put the car away for the winter i got the non-oxygenated gas so it wouldn't gum up, so i think the gas should be ok. Plus, i tried pourin a little gas down the carb and it still wouldn't start. its got spark, its got fuel, I haven't done a compression test but when i was looking for TDC i put my finger over the spark plug hole and there was compression! I just dont understand, some people can take their car out of 10 year storage and it'll fire right up and run well! I've replaced everything and it doesn't even run.....any other ideas out there? I'm planning on building a 261 for it but I'd like to get it on the road for awhile first so I can enjoy it! Thanks.

PS....Is there a picture of the spark plug wire orientation around the cap or anything in the shop manual? I couldn't find one....Is #1 towards the front/passenger side of the cap? If that makes sense?
