need to check dwell , fuel pressure , and maybe compression.  i made a fuel 
line that quickly replaces the drivers side fuel line from the pump to the carb 
with a small fuel pressure gauge in it for testing. quick and easy. i found 
some really neat small fuel pressure gauges cheap at autozone.  i plan on 
putting one on my dash ssomewhere hooked to my gas heater. also will put a neon 
bulb to watch spark at the heater plug. you should be able to get an idea if its 
compression related just by the sound of it cranking or even running. also 
need to see if mechanical advance is working , either by taking the breaker plate 
off and looking or with a timing light. hope this helps.
 mine was the piston rings going bye bye from too much work.
happy holidays.    tim colson
