I re-checked the wires and firing order, and all is correct. I also checked the wired with a timing light, and all seemed to be getting a signal from the distributor.

He set the float levels by bumping the engine, it was not running.

I replaced the coil and re-installed the original plugs (just to be sure), both with no results.

The thing that bothers me the most is that the car started on the first try (which it rarely does after sitting for a few days), and ran for a few minutes before stalling, and now it won't restart. If something was wrong from the begining, the car should not have started in the first place. Battery is now dead from all the cranking and is being recharged. There has to be something that is being overlooked, but I can't seem to find it.
