My car was running fine earlier today, I came home turned car off for about 30 minutes and when i went to start it again all it would do is turn over but not fire. Theres about a half a tank of gas in it. Can anyone help me?
Thanks, Jane

Need to know if it is missing spark or fuel. From your other posts, I suspect you feel it is fuel related. If you have some carburetor cleaner, take off the air breather and spray it in the engine. If car starts, lack of fuel is problem. If it still does not start, remove a spark plug wire and place it close to metal where it will stay put and check for spark. Chevrolets of that era were also bad about burning a hole in the rotor inside the distributor. Let us know what you find.
