Now this fall, I was going to pull it out of the barn so I could jockey around cars for winter storage, and it would not start at all. It turns over fine, but just would not attempt to run what so ever.

That sounds like typical coil or condenser issue. Is the car still 6v? If so is the battery positive post connected to ground and the negative post connected to the starter solenoid (that is the correct setup)? Is the coil (+) terminal connected to the distributor post to the condenser and the (-) terminal connected to the ignition switch? Are you sure it is the correct coil for a 6v Ford (~1.5 ohms)?
