In response to the many helpful suggestions I received to my starting problem
let me add the following:
I replaced the coil with one that was working on my other car. I put new NGK
BP6ES plugs on the car (it originally had some type of Champion resistor
plugs), I checked every plug and wire and got a good spark from all of them.
The auxilary gas tank is sitting on top of the battery therefore gravity
should get gas to the carbs even though the gas line is running through the
fuel pump. Compression is 135 across the board. I think I'm getting fuel to
the cylinders though the plugs haven't been as wet as I thought they should be.
I plan to double check the fuel supply and if necessary remove the intake
manifold and see if there is some obstruction, Maybe some mud daubers have
nested in the intake (just kidding). I'm hopeful after all the suggestions I
have received that the problem is fuel supply related. I haven't resolved the
possibility that the timing is off due to cam, timing chain or distributor
issues but will check this out after I double check the fuel supply issues.
