Won't start

["John Hofstetter" <hofs@domain.elided>]

Joe,
To ask the obvious, is there gas going into the carb from the
accelerator pump when you pump the throttle?

Subject: HELP!

ok, guys, I need help, I can't get my truck to start.

for the record, she's a '79 scout w/ 345 engine.  I've done the
following: new battery, starter, cap, rotor, plugs, wires, carb. 
it'll
crank, and I am getting spark, but it won't run.

I've been suggested both timing and compression, and those both get
checked tomorrow.  but is there anything else it could be?  would a
plugged exhaust cause this?

TIA,

Joe
