So after 22 years in my garage, I can finally get around to restarting. At this point, drained the gas, replaced all fuel line hoses and most vacuum lines, plugs look good, spark looks good, fuel is spraying from all injectors. Adjusted lifters. Car won't start. Any suggestions as to trouble shoot? I've ohm'd out coil (it's fine), voltage to coil is 10V (I think it's enough) as it main supply sparks, all cylinders has sparks. Turns over, no firing. Changed points to Petronix II. Still nothing even with staring fluid ( I would think if it was fuel delivery, it would at least fire for a few seconds with starting fluid).
It ran before I garaged it. Any suggestions, check lists to follow?? Do I need to hook up air filter and vacuum lines to get it to even start at a rough idle? |

QUOTE(Superhawk996 @ Oct 2 2019, 05:17 PM)  The fact that starting fluid doesn't at least cough sounds like you're not getting spark when cranking. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Static timed? Was distributor removed, sure it’s clocked accurately? |
