Thanks Howard.
It was driven into a damp garage and parked for 15 years.
Then I pulled it out and put in my dry garage.
I've replaced the plugs, wires, condenser, points, battery, cap, rotor. Fresh gas pumping through.

BUT the adjustable dial on the side of the Carter carb was held on with a tie wrap. When I touched it last night, the dial moved and I heard the spring inside unwind:(

I don't believe it is pumping fuel through the carb well but it wouldn't fire by putting fuel in the carb bowl.
