Trouble starting 66 Mustang

[Joeny]

Hi everyone,

I have a 66 Mustang 200ci that I can't get started, ill give you a quick rundown. The car sat for a few years and I have been working to get it back up and running. I have a new batter, solenoid, starter, coil, and fuel in the carb. the engine is a TDC and I can't get it to start. It will crank all day but won't start, there is voltage to the plugs and coil but won't start any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You say the plugs are getting spark, what about fuel?How's the points?condeser?

Yes I did the spark plug on the manifold yes and saw the spark, I’m using a phoenix electrical wither the distributor.

Recheck your basics. Fuel, static timing, firing order. The video sounds like it wants to just not quite. Did you do a compression check. Try a squirt of starting fluid or brake / carb cleaner while cranking. If it fires or runs on spray the carb is gummed up.
