engine start problem
new to the group, and love it, but i have a confounding problem.
i installed a electronic ignition system in my 68 F100 240 cid yesterday.
the dizzy came out of a 85 300, it is a single diaphram dizzy, much like what the original was. wired it to what i was instructed to do, but i still am not getting my truck started, i am getting fire, but it wont start, any help would be of great acceptance, i have replaced the starter relay, just so that isnt in
question. PLEASE HELP!!!!!
THANKS

thank you all for the help, got the old girl running today, and i think it makes a great difference, all that i have left is to iron out the timing, and make everything neat and pretty, as far as the wires go, and i will be finished.
as for the timing, manuals list that it should be 6 deg. above tdc, but as of right now, am not able to get close to that setting without stalling out the motor, so i believe i have to make some adjustments to the carb. and go from there. information is a valuable tool, so keep it coming, i will take all that i can get, especially from people more knowledgeable than myself.
thanks again,
