Update: replaced the coil and was able to get the engine to turn over with the constant help of the starter but it would not continue on its own. Timed it to TDC on #1, checked the gap on the points, and plugs, put in a new condensor. Next I guess I'll try new plugs and wires. That will give me an entire new ingition system.

I keep returning to ignition because when I spray ether in the intake throat of the carb it still won't start. It sounds just like a timing issue and if I hadn't checked the timing half a dozen times along with the firing order and wire connections, I'd say it was a timing issue.

Any ideas are appreciated.
