i tested everything accourding to the procedure that someone posted a link to . i tested the resistor, the ECU , the distributor, and still cant figure it out. it does have spark when i pull the wire off to test it. it is getting fuel to the carb, i probably only poured 2 ounces down the carb , may be i should try more , i just didnt want to start a big fire! i checked the distributor timing 3 times to make sure it was on the compression stroke firing. i think it must have fired at least once since the plug i pulled was a little black , and they were new plugs. it has sat a while since being built. must be at least 2 or 3 months. i am going to check over everything again and may be try it tomorrow.

It's getting fire when someone cranks it w the key. 2oz probably drowned it! Time that dist/clean plugs/shot of starting fluid & it'll go

Turn the ignition switch to "on" position and then cross the relay with a screwdriver. I had trouble with an ignition switch in the column that did not always provide power to the ECU. Sometimes when releasing the key from the start position to on power was lost, sometimes not. Since this is an initial start-up it wouldn't hurt to raise the idle some so when it does start you keep the lifters rotating.
...FAFO...

FWIW 2 oz is not enough to fire a six pack. It has very long runners. I filled my primary bowl full when I fired mine for the 1st time. id you pull the coil wire and crank and check for spark? Did you pull a plug wire, jam a screw driver in it and check for spark? With the key "on" did you check the ballast side of the coil? you said you had 6v at the coil...that is not enough juice.
