[T2] Sat and the bus in Baltimore

[accessys at smart.net]

so Sat Dan Besson comes up and he has a very similar bus to mine even down 
to the Crane ignition.  so for over 6hrs we did.
pretty much everything but included

reset valves
checked fuel delivery
replaced plugs and wires
replaced Dist witht stock one with points
swapped parts between engines
stuff that worked on his wouldn't work on mine, stuff on mine workedh on 
his.
set timing many times
cranked while turning dist
checked every wire and hose
replaced S boot
fixed a wire on cold start relay(not a no start factor, just noticed it)
and cranked and cranked and cranked and only sound we got was a backfire 
from ether when timing was off.
a neighbor even wandered by and asked if it was going to run again as he 
watched me a couple months ago when it ran the one time (oh and it was 
stopped and started several times during that run)

I really appreciated Dan coming by but when he left at sundown we were no 
further along then when we started...

Dan thanks again for trying to diagnose this thing
