Re: 72 ford F250 won't start help
When did it stop running?, was it after you set the points? If compression is "good" then it's unlikely it is a timing chain concern because if it jumped, compression would be low. Pull the spark plugs, are they fuel fouled, completely dry?
I would try to clean off the spark plugs with a torch (butane, etc.) and attempt to restart it. Also i would check and make sure that cylinder 1 is on top dead center and make sure the rotor is pointed to the number one plug wire terminal. You can also check timing while someone is cranking the engine over, just make sure the vacuum advance hose is disconnected. Good luck,
