Does not start

Ford F-100 1977  600 miles
My f100 has been without being used for more than 7 years. I've been replacing all its pieces for more than two years: fuel hoses, fuel and oil filters, gas, caburetor kit, fuel pump, wires, among many other things. It is almost all new but still it does not generate the needed explosions. Sparks can be seen in the coil but the car does not start working. What might be happening?

Fuel, spark, and compression, if its getting spark with proper spark plug gap, then make sure it gets fuel and air, if you know its getting fuel air and spark but doesnt fire maybe fuel ratio, dont flood it, and these are machines made by a team of engineers you shouldnt just go replacing everything, replacement parts are worse most of the time, you may have installed carburetor kit wrong, or mixed up wires, if its cranking gettting fuel and spark might be timing, spark plug wires mixed up, its hard to tell when anyone replaces a lot of engine components and still nothing is fixed,
