Re: '79 won't start....?

while your trying to start it push the pedal to the floor and hold it for a little. and look to see if there is gas squirting into the carb when the pedal is pushed, you should see it squirt. its carb right??? if it is timing you loosen the bolt on the clamp down bracket on the manifold and spin the distributer- tiny turns make a big difference. if you turn it more then an 8th thats way far. you could try turning it a little each direction and trying to start it. might want to mark where the distributer initially was. remember just change it a tad, like an 1/8th an inch incriments
