I was sitting in the garage after a nice ride in my 70 bug.  I had just got all my heat tubes hooked up and took it for a 45 minute ride around town with no issues.  I went back out to work on it a bit.  I have the 009 Dist with a 34Pict-3 Carb.  It's a 1600 DP motor from 72.

I started it and revved a few times and it was idling really nice....then died!  It has not started since.  I already had the parts so I went ahead and replaced all the ignition.  New coil, points, condenser, plugs, cap, rotor, and wires.

Static timing is set at 7.5 BTDC and I am getting spark at the plugs.  When I push the accelerator I get the jet of fuel going in.  I can put my hand on top of the carb and it's pulling vacuum, and I smell gas in the exhause.

So...it's getting fuel, fire, and air....and not even trying to start.  Am I missing a magic button somewhere?

Thanks...found it tonight.  Timing was 180 off.  Purring like a kitten now.

I suspect the coil was bad, because my miss was a little more than the 009/34 Pict dead spot.  Once I put it all back together, I had the timing 180 off
