Do you have spark at the plugs. In 69 a friend that I worked with, had driven his 1963 ford to the store. Went to leave and it wouldn't start. We towed it all over town . When we tested for spark we pulled a spark wire and cranked the engine over. it would spark a few times and we'd reinstall the plug wire. So we were satisfied that it had spark =yes it had spark. A week or so later another guy at work in the wharehouse bet us he knew what the problem was . We had the taken a lot apart. This guy had about an hour head start on us, he got off work earlier. When we got to my house the car was running . Turned out to be the condenser in the distributor. When we tested for sparked a few times and then we'd reinstall the plug wire. Unbeknown to us that is about the time when it would quit sparking. I bought a coil - condenser tester ,volt -amp- dwell meter, and an OHM meter. I was't going to get caught again. A few years later they started changing to trasnsisterized ignitions.
My replica quit when leaving a stop light, it just died. I had the guy behind me help push it into a parking lot. Turned out he ran a local service shop. So he and I towed it to his shop. He found that the contacts in the fuse holder were corroeded and not making a good connection with the fuses. He replaced the multiple fuse holder. The parts were about 20 bucks labor was 120 . I now carry a test light in the trunk tool kit.
