If I am reading this correctly, the engine cranks but does not start. It was running, died and will not start. I would be inclined to think it is a pickup coil in the disturbutor or the ingition control module. These are very common parts to fail in older ford products.

Is it getting enough? Check to see if you are getting fire to the plugs,check your ecm fuse do a diagnostic to see if it's the cam or crankshaft sensor

Check and replace if necessary the fuel pump. When the car ran out of gas the fuel pump was not cooled enough and worked with air inside, then fails more and more often.

Wont start after 6 mos. I changed the spark plug, drained & added fresh gas, checked the fuel filter... Kicks over fine. Ran for 4 seconds, then it died. Always ran & started great before.

With a new plug and fresh gas it should start. Check to make sure there isn't a kill switch turned off or that the gas petcock from the tank to the carb is on.

How did you check the fuel filter? Disconnecting it from the fuel line that goes to the carb is the best way, making sure the gas is turned on under the tank. Bleed off a little gas into a can or something just to make sure the filter isn't plugged.

The last thing I'd do is take off the air filter and spray a little starting fluid in the carb. It may start and run several times if there is old gas in there somewhere. Remember the bowl on the carb is probably still full of old gas. After some fresh fuel reaches the plug it should start and continue to run.

(You might drain the bowl on the carb of ols gas before you go any further)

Good luck!
