1971 Dodge Dart 318 Swinger Cranks but No Start

I have a sweet 71 Swinger with 44,000 original miles.
Ive done very little work on it because its so cherry.
Today I went to take it out for a sunday drive and it started up and after a second, died. Now it just cranks and cranks. I opened the air intake just in case i flooded it. I also checked the fuel level. The gauge reads 1/4 tank, and I put a stick down the tank, I've got 8 inches.

All my google searches are coming up fusible link, and not to sound like a moron, but i dont know where that is. ;-)
i also checked all the glasss fuses and they look good.

Any help would be....helpful
Thanks

 

is there gas getting to the carb, when you hit the throttle does the carb quirt gas?
do you have spark?

 

I actually think its the fuel filter might be clogged. Heading to Autozone now. I'll give it a try in the morning.

 

Ignition Control Module???

 

Ignition Control Module; is that the Starter relay, or the Soleniod or somthing completly different?

 

It may have points being a 71.

 

check that balast resistor on the driver side of the firewall its white box with two wires comin out of each side there pretty cheap and noted to go unexpected

It is not the starter relay if it cranks. Did you try to jump it to rule the battery out? Have a friend spray some ether down the carburetor to see if it fires up. You may need to rebuild the carburetor if it has been sitting for a while.

Maybe, maybe. Now the trouble is finding one. Been to three autozones an rs strauss and sears. no luck.

 

only been sitting a month, but thats just since the problem.
