I have the truck listed above, d150. it got new plugs, wires, new coil, new distributor cap, and it started for about 10 seconds then shut off. now it just turns over but won't start. I'm getting gas to the carburetor, and I get spark up to the coil, then nothing. I lose it there. idk what else to do.

Will it run on starting fluid? If so, it sounds like the fuel pump has gone out. here is how to change it out in the images below. This guide can help as well, also when the tank is out check for bad gas and flush the tank before reinstalling the new pump.
