83 350 won't start

[offshore1]

tuns over got spark and fuel but won't start any ideas?

[Scrapper]

have you pulled any of the plugs out to see if there wet with gas? if not i'd look at one or two of them because if your getting gas and spark it should start. is the spark yellow or blue?

[offshore1]

i pulled the #1 plug it seemed dry. the spark is yellow

[offshore1]

pulled another plug it's wet

[Scrapper]

now i'd do compress check then if one was wet. was it gas or oil on plug? but you need a blue spark maybe coil going bad.

the yellow spark means the ignition module is bad. this mounted at the base inside the distributor fails with normal useage around 175 ,ooo mi. the failure however will be sooner if there is any arcing in the high VoltAGE WIRES/CAP...
