Did you check the connections both at the coil, and distributor harnesses?
Did you have spark when you got home and tried to start the car?
Have you checked the compression of all 8 cylinders?

Only take three things for the car to run:

Spark
Compression

Time to eliminate each one.

Thx Bill,

I still have to ask the question from a NON-MECHANIC, that's me..

While trying to start the car there is No gas going into the carb bowls. Even with me standing on the gas pedal. What controls that simple action?


appreciated

Check your fuel pump. Sounds like you're not pushing fuel.
