Well, I went ahead and replaced the plug wires, distrubutor cap, rotor, points and condensor and now I have spark!!!!
So then I turned the fuel back on and got nothing at the carb. A little investigating found that the inlet of the sediment bowl was clogged. The tank has a layer of crud at the bottom and it just drains right into the bowl. Some pieces of rust look to be the size of a nickel.
So I think I've got 3 options:
1. Remove the tank and have it cleaned and sealed before I go any further.
2. Do #1 and rig up a small temporary tank so I can still get it started.
3. Add a "snorkel" to the sediment bowl inlet so I draws gas from above the layer of crud until I'm ready to tackle the tank.
If I can come up with an easy way to do #3 I'll probably go that way, but #2 is probably the best answer.
