Drove truck to storage for the winter, went to start this Spring and it will not fire. Purchased a new battery also, turns over good. Checked: points - look good Spark plugs look good, checked two, both were dry...? Added gas directly into carb. 49 GMC - 18,000 miles - farm truck...engine re-built in 1984 Questions - condensor?, coil?, distributor? Not mechanically skilled.

Never mind what LOOKS good it has to test good. If it ran than I will conclude it's missing spark as no response from being primed. Don't just go tossing things - find out what is missing and chase that. Points can look good and not be for one or condenser owes you nothing either.
