Me and a buddy are trying to repair my father's 1968 GMC 1/2 ton pickup with a 292 straight six engine that just recently ran fine but now, won't fire. So far, we have replaced the distibutor cap, points, rotor and condenser. We also have correctly gapped the points and the firing order from cap to plug is correct. The coil and wire is in working order (as my friend almost juiced himself through the hood while testing for coil spark to the cap as I turned it over lol) the timing has also not been disturbed since vehicle last ran fine. We have also changed both fuel filters and the carburetor was just rebuilt 2 years ago (profesionally) and it is getting gas so fuel pump is fine. We both agree that even if timing was slightly off it should at least "try" to fire but we can crank it forever and it won't even try to fire. If anyone has any ideas please reply here or send me an e-mail @ americanjedi77@yahoo.com ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED THANK YOU!!
