Ahh its a carb'ed engine. Then its a vacuum leak or incorrect vacuum lines. Carb'ed engines are simple. If you see fuel then move onto fire. Since it does fire you have spark. Then theres air. Its getting air just too much.
Tho if your distributor is off a gear it wont idle or run right. Loosen it and move it to full advanced position then see if it runs. I am leaning towards a vacuum leak tho.
Spray some carb cleaner around intake and vacuum lines then try and fire it. Also by advancing the distributor all the way it will help it stay running. Then you can spray carb cleaner while its running.
If you want you can call me and I can walk you thru it. 925-270-5314 Josh This is a simple fix and I know 22R's in and out.
