Won't start. Depressing as hell in atlanta.

Guys and Gals,

I have been a member here for like 3 years or so but I haven't been around for the last year or so. (just lurking). My truck quit running last fall and I looked at it, i figured it was water in the distributor, or some electrical problem. This spring i fiddled with it a little trying to get it to fire, but got nowhere. It's HEI, -- I finally stuck a NEW Igntion module on it, and then a new coil as well. I traced the wires down to the starter, the second wire on the starter is loose and so i need to get in there and tighten it up. It used to run SO well... something went wrong electrically and I can't find it.

I'm so depressed that my truck is just sitting here, never moving at all, even though it has lots of cool stuff on it. I just can't bring myself to break down and spend the time to get it running good again. Something else has always seemed to come up. I have spent a total of like 50 hours looking at it and I always leave MORE PISSED OFF than when I started...

I'm REAL depressed about it as you can imagine. So.. That's my story, it never seems to get spark so that it can fire, but it's not fuel when I dump gas in the carb (new edlebrock). it MUST be spark.. i just can't find it... putting a new battery in it seemed to have a small effect, but it only fired once and then went back to the nothing, never catch.... damn.

So, basically, any ideas what to try next? Other than just putting it in the paper and findiing a new owner for it?

Depressed in Atlanta,
