Everyone is getting a good lesson in the older Fords, which were and are a classic.
Good advice as I see it.
But would have done the distributor/wires/plugs/points/condenser/coil check first (or soon after the first experience with the ether not working
).
The 6 volts always seem to eat points and condensers.
Hope you have some good compression. All that cranking as mentioned makes me think it is cranking way too easy (or else the battery would'nt hold up long).
Only need three things. Fuel, spark, compression. But any one missing will mean "no start".
