Hi everyone
these are the things we have done
new wires, new plugs, new points, checked condenser, selenoid, coil, starter, alternator and we have not checked the compression yet.
and the fuel pump is pumping fuel
she cranks but won't start. my mechanic has given up after trying for about 2 months. I am ordering the original manual once i get her home to try and get her going myself. he doesn't think it is compression but i asked him to at least test it before i towed her home.

i know. he has alot of cars but said he has spent alot of time on this one and had other guys look at it too. i asked him to do the compression test. i think this is the only thing he hasn't done. im towing it away from him this week to my house. gonna get the original manual and try to figure it out.

stumped by a 1965, points and a carburator ? come on - whats the story?
you do NOT need a manual this is BASICS auto 101....... check spark - add some fuel ? vroom vroom
PS hammer is being to kind- a house painter.

Compression check would be a good thing to start out with if you have spark and fuel, but no start. 2 months...wow
