Default Re: I feel like a newbie again??

Hey everyone need some help please. Started working on the 29 tudor. First thing I put new plugs new points and condenser ( I have modern points setup) drained old gas put in new with some seafoam cleaned zenith carburetor I had ran all the gas out of carburetor when I park it some 5 years ago so it was dry installed new gaskets in carburetor new 6v battery new starter switch old on was not engaging starter polished cam lobe and set timing. So it started right up but ran like crap so just let it run for a little while to see if it was just from sitting for so long also added some marvel mystery oil to oil to hopefully lube everything up. Then it died? Will not hit at all motor will turn over but no spark to my points. So put on a new 6v coil didn't help actually bought 2 thought I may have got a bad one from parts house. Still no spark installed a new key switch still no spark? Checked distributor plates to see if a wire was broken or touching distributor and shorting out all good? Looked in terminal box on firewall all wires look good not burnt looks good? Checked starter safety fuze it looks good? I am so frustrated with myself after having a stroke I have forgotten a lot of things. It makes my so aggravated I am go so mad at myself knowing it's something some just about to throw my hands up and quit the hobby. Sorry just venting I guess does anyone know anything I'm missing? Any suggestions I'm missing? Thanks for any help Robert
