263 just wont start

I got a buick 263 straight eight. A week ago it was running like a top yesterday as I was driving her and she acted like she was out of gas, but she wasnt. Brought her back to the house and put in new points, plugs, cap, rotor, wires, and condensers. I gapped out my plugs and set my points according to the factory specs and she still wont start. I am getting plenty of gas to the carb Im getting a week spark at number one plug. up front thanks for any help I can get because she just wont start.

 

junk in the carb? wet plugs? color of the spark?

 

Check your plugs as mentioned.. if dry...Add some gas by hand and see if it'll start.
If not go to your distributor for evaluation...and check condenser!!!

 

yeah was going to say condensor too but he said re replaced it..but they do go bad and if they do the spark sucks..just went thru that on a 6 cyl. here at work last week

 

really should have a crisp blue spark

 

sounds like the only electrical part you did not replace was the coil

 

oohhhh hes good! yeah coil..do it do it

 

Checking the coil's a good idea, but two more questions: Is it still six volt, and how old is the gas? Stale gas and slow cranking aren't a good combination.

 

clean carb dry plugs yellow spark

 

yes i did replace coil also thanks

 

yes it is still 6-v and i cleaned out gas tank and has new gas

 

if i rotate the plug wires out of sequence shoud i not get a backfire

 

For the ten cents it would cost, I'd replace the small wire from the coil to the distributor. Cracked insulation on that wire drove one of my friends nuts one time. It was shorting to the distributor housing and the car wouldn't start.

 

Try Some Starter Fluid.this Wont Solve The Problem But
If It Starts You Can Tell Better Where The Problem Is.

 

If you can't think of anything else to change, get a compression gauge & a test light ... do a little checking instead of changing.
