Start fresh, plugs, dist cap, rotor, wires, make sure the starter is shimmed right, adjust the timing until the motor fires quickly, and then see where you're at. If the carb needs work find someone that can do it for you.

It only clicked once sine I reinstalled battery and alt. The plugs are fresh, wires are good, unknown about cap and rotor, and the carb will be replaced soon.
