If it had "ever thing needs" it would start- something is missing- that is a simple, old machine- should be easy to find the missing piece of the puzzle-
I agree with Jim. I have a 1976 F250. You can do the old-fashion way of testing to see if you have spark, with a helper, stick a screwdriver in a spark plug wire and hold the stem of screwdriver near the tip of plug and have somebody crank the engine. If you see a nice cobalt-blue spark, that's good. If you see a yellow-ish spark that is a weak spark. And tap on the carb to make sure the float is not stuck. Otherwise, all Jim said.
I agree with jamnblues also... we were typing at same time
Good Evening everyone...
