Sorry 8-10 years he only moved it about 4 times within that period. And he changed the distibutor and its quite hard to reach the 2 spark plugs near under the throttle position sensor? and i dont think the boots are down properly on the spark plugs.

Hi! , Thanks for the feedback , Questions : Why did your dad change the distributer ? and did the car start afterwards ?, if not - -quite a clue here ! - check the ignition timing and connections . . How old is the fuel in the tank ? I have heard that old fuel is hard to ignite ?? .

If This car has been sitting for 8-10 years, with gas in it, The gas is probably thick as moleasses. Not to mention water and rust.I bought a 86 supra that had only been sitting for 1 year and the fuel pump and tank were complrtely rusted out. Not hard to pull the tank; pull out filler neck and fuel pump and visually check them out. Good luck
