75....not sure if they still had em in 75,but check the ballast resistor on the firewall too...its a white porcelain module,with either 2 or 4 wires going into it.
7/16ths bolt holds it on.
if this is shot,you will crank it over forever,and never start=no spark.
a quick way to check for spark,is to pull one end of a spark plug wire off the spark plug,put a screwdriver in the end of the spark pulg wire,Preferrably a Rubber handled one,and hold the screwdriver Close to the block,head,or manifolds.
now have a friend crank it over a few times..
if its getting spark,you will visibly see it jump from the screwdriver to the block.
Be carefull!!
when you are cranking the motor,keep the flap on the carb closed,to help pull the gas forwards.
still wont start?
try this,pull the gas line off the fuel pump where it comes in from the tank..it should start leaking gas..if it doesnt,then your problem is the lines or the tank...
if it does,then check the fuel pump or carb..
hope any of this helped..
