If you suspect a stuck float, remove the float bowl drain and see if you get flow. If not, rap the carb bowl with the handle of a screwdriver and see if it starts flowing... that will prove a stuck float valve.
Another thing to do, is grab a spare spark plug, connect it to the igniton coil wire, ground it to the block, and crank the engine. Got spark? if not:
Another thing to try...
Connect a wire from battery to coil... bypassing the ignition switch.... then crank the engine. IF it starts, you've got a bad ignition switch.
If not, and you have no spark, it's either coil, condenser, points, wiring, or...
The point cam and distributor base bushing are really worn.
Remove the distributor cap, pull off the rotor, grab the shaft and wiggle it in every direction. If it moves by any significant direction, you need a distributor rehab.
