[6pack] Starting Problems

[michael lunsford]

In response to the many helpful suggestions I received to my starting problem let me add the following:
   
  I replaced the coil with one that was working on my other car.  I put new NGK BP6ES plugs on the car (it originally had some type of Champion resistor plugs),  I checked every plug and wire and got a good spark from all of them.  
   
  The auxilary gas tank is sitting on top of the battery therefore gravity should get gas to the carbs even though the gas line is  running through the fuel pump.  Compression is 135 across the board.  I think I'm getting fuel to the cylinders though the plugs haven't been as wet as I thought they should be.  I plan to double check the fuel supply and if necessary remove the intake manifold and see if there is some obstruction,  Maybe some mud daubers have nested in the intake (just kidding).  I'm hopeful after all the suggestions I have received that the problem is fuel supply related.  I haven't resolved the possibility that the timing is off due to cam, timing chain or distributor issues but will check this out after I double check the fuel supply issues.
