I think i have it,i have fire at the coil and the fuel is pumping,i
even give it a shot of ether,but nothing. The only thing i can think
of is my battery is not putting out enough cranking amps,therfore my
motor is not turning over fast enough.I will try that and let you know
how that turns out. thanks

If you have spark at the coil, test at the spark plugs also. You
could have leaky wires or distributor cap. If you have good spark at
the plugs and it won't fire on ether, you need to do a compression
test on all cylinders.
