Unhappy Troubleshooting help needed!

Hey everyone,

I have a 1990 F150 XLT Lariat with a rebuilt 302 and rebuilt tranny, just over 405 000 kms on the body, and roughly 80K kms on the rebuilds. I am having an intermittent issue with the truck not starting. It will crank strong as heck but not fire up. A couple times it will stumble as if it is going to fire up but most times it will just crank... rather as if there was a moisture issue, which I am not ruling out at all. The plugs, wires, dist cap and rotor button were replaced a couple months ago at the same time as the fuel filter being replaced. I am hoping that someone might be able to toss a couple ideas in that I haven't thought of to help me out... and maybe if there is a member here in Nova Scotia (near Halifax) who would like to exercise their brain a bit I would appreciate that immensely!

Thanks for any help/ideas anyone can toss out here )
