newbe...not sure where to look now! Iv got a 68 F-bird with a 6.0 lq4 cabureted. Iv had it running a few times drove it onece found out my carb was flooding my engine, fixed that problem ever since that one drive my car won't even try to start.
Iv pulled all the plugs cranked it over rpms only go to about 160, turn it over for a few seconds longer it reads190. Iv checked all plug wires to see if I'm getting spark and I am. Iv got my pink 12v wire hooked to the fuse pannel for now. I'm going to Chang all my grounds and I'm waiting on a 7 circuit fuse pannel for my pink 12v and other sh*t. Iv read all the other threads on here but none of them really saw how or if they fixed the problem. I'm asking for some advice to where els I can to to fix it.

Hook your msd 12v straight to the battery for now to insure you getting power to it on crank. Check all grounds. make sure you getting fuel but nothing is dripping into motor while not running like boosters leaking do to high floats etc.

Before the problem started my boosters were leaking into the intake flooding it out but I got that problem fixed, iv got the bowls set to about half on the sight glass and 6psi. When I get off work ill go home and hook the 12v to the battery.

If you have spark then your msd, crank sensor , and cam sensor should be good. I had a problem last year, my starter wasn't spinning engine over fast enough and wouldn't fire, but if you have spark that shouldn't be it. Sounds like a fuel problem. Spark & fuel she should run.
