Hello, 

I have a 1964 f100 with a 292/3 speed. I've had it for a few years and it's usually been pretty reliable, I drove it a lot. Last summer it started dying on me and wouldn't restart. After a few tows home and some tinkering it hasn't started since last October. Spark is orange. Cold compression numbers are between 90 and 140, most are around 120. It cranks strong, but it doesn't even try to start. 
I have: 
Rebuilt the autolite 2100 
New fuel pump/lines/filter: the carb shoots fuel into the venturi 
New spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor and I have tried two different Accel coils and it has a new points eliminator. 
I have checked ignition timing. 

I'm at my wits end here and have lost motivation to work on it in defeat. Thanks in advance for any ideas 

Dan
