[Alpines] Need help with Series IV automatic

 Also I'd add a suggestion that, if no fuel in the carb(s), then
unhook the fuel system one part at a time and test for fuel at that
point with the engine spinning, until the problem is detected.

That would be first the fuel line between the carb(s) and the fuel
pump, then the pump, then the line to the fuel tanks.

If fuel is blocked, the engine could be briefly tested with starter
fluid, as Lauri suggested.

Remove the carb's cover, spin the engine, look and see if fuel is
present.

Billl,
       Re another reply to you, there is no gear on the distributor,
its on the oil pump.  Originally the car was positive ground and since
it has spark, my guess is its a fuel delivery problem likely caused by
a blocked fuel line (the typical paint peeling off the inside of the
tanks problem).
