1977 F150 4x4 crank no start!!
I have a 1977 f15o 351 I don’t know what type. I got it to restore it I’m on a tight budget now but it’s cranks but doesn’t wanna start it smokes thru the carb I started it before but I just doesn’t want to now. I think it’s a vacuum line but I can’t find a detailed one.

Another thing to check is to make sure that the distributor drive gear is good.
Pull the distributor cap and crank. Make sure rotor is turning. Learned this one the hard way.

Multiple easy things to check... however go thru the first 3 steps and then you can pin point which quick checks to look for before having to dive deeper into the engine.

Your carb is smoking? Sounds like you've probably got some decent carb problems and it needs a rebuild/replace. If you carb is all messed up like that, you could spend a whole bunch of time trying to diagnose issues that a simple carb rebuild/replacement would fix.
Check spark and fuel first though like has already been said.
