Default 66' Wont Start!

I was about to go to lunch today, started it up, went in reverse and it died. So okay, I put it back in park and tried to start it again, no go. Anyway, I left it, went back to work... Now I was about to go home and it still wont start, just turns. So i've walked home now.. Not sure what I should do!

Any ideas?

I am going to go back with my dad and try to jump it, as the battery is weak now...

If that doesn't work I have no clue what then.

You may have flooded the carb. In that case I think the only thing you can do is to let it turn over a little until it drains itself some without giving it any gas. Other then that you have be be sure that the engine is getting a spark, something may have died in that aspect.

Check to make sure you are getting fuel and spark... That's about the only place to start
