Won’t fire?

I had my starter go out on my 85 f250 with the 351w I replaced the starter and now it will crank once again. Now it will not fire I know I am getting 13v to the coil I went ahead and replaced. Still won’t fire the distributor looks in fairly good shape not sure where to look at from here any suggestions?

thansk in advance for all help!

Go get a spark checker at harbor freight and check for spark.



If you have spark, take the aircleaner off and with a flashlight, look down the carb throat and push the throttle wide open by hand. You should see two strong streams of gas pour into the engine.
