<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">My 1973 quit going at 65MPH without any indication. I noticed some black smoke from the exhaust when it happened. I was running the car fairly strongly for two hours or so after adjusting the HS6 carbs and getting the car back on the road</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> after a few years.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">The car will not start and doesn't want to start. Fuel and spark appear to be OK. I tried starting fluid to no avail, plus I have spark at a plug. </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">I intend to clean the plugs if they are fouled, check static timing, by-pass ignition switch power to the coil, and confirm the engine will turnover by hand. </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">For some reason, I suspect the timing chain. How can I check a problem with the timing chain? What else can I try?</font></div>
