make sure the points are making contact, pull the distributor cap off, turn the key switch on, have some one spin the motor over, you should see the points "sparking", if not, recheck your point gap, clean the contact surfaces with a point file or a piece of sand paper.

So I tried to run it some more today and I was getting spark on all cylinders. Adjusted the timming and it seemed like it wanted to fire over. But it just seems like the battery dosent have enough juice to get it going. I even hooked it up to my truck and got the same thing. Would the starter be causing this or the alternator?
