When you get those new plug wires, be sure to get copper core wires, not resistance wires. It will make a world of difference. Also, I would get new plugs while I was at it, and go with Autolite 295 instead of the normal 303. This is a hotter plug and will be a lot more resistant to fouling under light use. If you're going to use it hard, stick with the 303 plugs.
After that, timing would be my next guess, even if it ran yesterday. I hope this didn't happen, but it could have bad timing gears and be firing at the wrong time.My 2¢,
Phil

I just put a new coil on it and it still won't start, i will go to town and get some new wires and see if that helps.

I agree with Steve it sounds like a bad coil! Justin NY

pull out a couple plugs and put them in the spark plug wires. lay the plug on block and crank the motor. look for the spark at the plug gaps. if you have good white-blue spark o.k., if not, then maybe the coil is bad, assuming the wires are good, and the point wire is not grounded out, and the point is closing and making good contact.

We finally got it running, we switched the spark plug wires around and just kept messing with them and it finally came alive after sitting for 8 months. I feel kind of stupid trying all the other things that I did and not even thinking about the plug wires.
Thanks for all your advice though.52 A Boy

In addition to what has already been said, be sure you have the proper voltage on the primary side of the coil (wire from battery or ign switch). Remove spark plugs and crank engine. If no spark, keep working your way through the coil and distributor until you find the gremlin.
