Ok, from the other post with the ignition/wiring problems, I figured out what the problem was after a lot of frustration.

The timing was 90 degrees off. I timed the car, or so I thought, come to find out The dizzy wasnt in the bracket all the way so as I was cranking the car, the dizzy was slowly turning itself out of time. I retimed it, fired up and ran for a few seconds.

Thanks to everyone that replied before, now it on to boiling the gas tank and hooking up the clutch/brake pedals, hopefully getting it to move on its own by the end of next week.
