Pulled my 67 into the garage to repair headlight motors last May, fixed the motors then went away for the summer and most of the fall. Went to take a drive last week and I can't get the car to start. Not the battery (as it turns over nicely and I recharged it anyway), not the gas (as I can smell the gas and even put some in the top of the cab). What happens when I turn the key is a normal crank, then it seems to catch once, fire and then just turn without continuing to run. I even pumped the gas peddle enough once to get it to backfire out of the carb - wow - what a noise, and a little flame - lucky for me the hood was up or it could have meant new paint. Anyway I checked all the wires and everything seems to be in place. I doubt it is the spark plugs - since to have all 8 go at once would be unusual. Before I just start replacing things (like the condenser and the coil) does anyone have any ideas on how I could narrow this down.
Thanks for the help.
