Hi is it good old points set up? if so take dizzy cap off, ignition turn on, and flick the points to see if they spark. it is just as likely to be a duff coil connection, if you get stuck give me a ring but i will not be around much tomorrow.

Ok i havent actually a clue in hell and i really need this to be sorted ASAP as it has to be fixed to be sold. the car HAS to go.
Info is: The batt is connected all fine, had to put a few extra washers on for the connection to be perfect but it works...its turning over but it hasnt got that last extra kick to actually start....HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone who has any ideas or anything please let me know, luckily this isnt the one i drive around day to day.

take it to gerald dale, or call a mobile tuner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if it has no spark it electrical, also if you have a new carb it will need setting up to make your car run properly

how do you know it has no spark?

??, just because it does not start, does not mean it has no spark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

as dave said Start at the begining and simple, are the leads on tight and in the right order?

go through the hayes manual one thing at a time,
