Thank you. I will check all of this. For sure need to re-gap plugs. Autoparts guy looked it up and said .035.

Is the engine a V-8 or 6? Have you done a compression check? What are the results? Have you tried filling the carburetor bowl through the vent tube or cranking the engine to fill the bowl? Sometime not enough fuel or too much fuel is delivered by pouring fuel into the carburetor throat. Filling the bowl will allow the accelerator to control the flow of fuel. Did you put in new spark plugs and gap them to .025"? If you did all of those things, try some starting fluid. Sometimes the engine just needs that little bit extrra help to start the first time after sitting for long periods.

If you have the original motor the distributor can only go in one way. If put in wrong it can break the mounting ears on the distributor housing. Double check to make sure the wires are plugged in correctly to the cap and check the housing.

47 pickup. Pour a little gas in the carb-it sounds like it backfires once and then just turns over and over but never fires off. Sat many years, was stuck, new rings. I pulled a plug and turned it over over and seems to have good spark. The distributor only goes in one way, correct? No way to put it in 180 degrees off? Thank you.
