    So I sold my 77 toyota.the guy I sold it too.Woke up the other day and it wouldnt start.No fire,he changed the coil,checked the points.He called me and said the truck was flooding badly and wont start.i went over there.to make it short,I bought it back.My question is what could be wrong here?I took a plug I had and checked it for spark.It well get one small spark and then nothing.Could somebody tell me whats might be the problem??

    Does it turn over? Is it getting the 3 essentials?

    Yes it turns over.I found the problem.It jumped time a little bit.I got moving the dist. around and got it to run.Not good but it did run.Move the timing back and it wouldnt run.Move it back up some again it would run.Again not good but it would run.So it must be the timing.Ill have to get me a chain and gears and get started on it tomorrow.

    Nice seller!

    Was it making chain noises prior to selling it? How many miles?
