69 custom 10 not starting

have you tested to see if you have spark? What you're describing is usually either a fuel or a spark problem. Check your carb to see if your getting fuel first. Take the air cleaner off then look into the carb and watch as you pull on the throttle. If fuel squirts into the opening, you probably have a spark problem. Pull a spark plug wire from one of your spark plugs and ground it to the intake manifold. Have someone crank it and watch to see if you see spark from the plug wire.

Let us know what happens.
