if I have both rear wheels off ground and trans in gear, engine does not turn over, both wheel just spin.
does it matter which wheel I have on the ground when trying to turn engine over via rotating a wheel? |

I just dropped entire car to the ground on wheel and tires. in neutral it rolls freely but in all other gears it won't move. something is bound up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
correction, not bound, just very hard to roll. and I have all spark plugs out. 307 sbc v8 engine. |

Done it that way for years...use 4th gear, easier for wheels to push engine than in lower gears, then bounce, bounce, bounce....it'll move the engine. Slowly, slowly....catchee monkey! |
