Fitted the new fuel tank to the Ruby today and it was finally time to start her up - but no go.
Useful info:
It's a ruby which has sat around for a few years but was running in 2018 when it went away.
I have:
Replaced the tank,
Cleaned the fuel lines
Checked & cleaned the fuel pump
Checked & cleaned the carb
Cleaned all the spark plugs,
Cleaned the points and rotor arm
Cleaned the king lead contact in the distributor.
Changed the coil for another one.
I have tried the old spark plug against the head trick and no spark. Tomorrow I'll try serious diagnostics but I'm operating on brain cells I last used over 20 years ago so...
What now? What have I missed?
Is it time for new leads & condenser?
