Sorry if this is too basic, but I've missed this kind of stuff too often....
Good luck,
Dave

Most often when I've had the problem that the engine does not fire at all - no cough, sputter, or other engine noise, it's something basic that I've overlooked. Pull the fuel line, put it into a jar and crank the engine making sure that you're getting gas flow to the carbs. Pull the plugs, put them on the engine block and crank making sure you're getting good spark to all the plugs and they're hitting in the right order. Make sure the main distributor wire is set in place tight. Are the wires really old and maybe shorting out due to dry rot or just losing too much amp on the way to the engine? Check the spark with a volt meter (that can handle the volts from the coil). Is your coil good? Try blasting the carbs with some carb cleaner just in case something is stuck from sitting too long after the PO replaced them with the dell's. If you've got gas and spark you should be getting some engine sounds, then it's just a matter of getting the RIGHT engine sounds:) Sorry if this is too basic, but I've missed this kind of stuff too often.... Good luck, Dave
