Have not started my cobra in about 3 weeks. Car will crank fine but won't start. Any suggestions?? I can see the gas in the carb and waited 5 hours in between try's in case it was flooded. I have upgraded the ignition to a al-6 msd.

Remove a spark plug and hold it up to a metal surface and see if you are getting spark.

Do you smell gas when trying to start it after a few moments?

What kind of dizzy are you using? Points, unilight, magnetic pickup? Have you tried bypasssing the CD box to see if it will start?
