So today I did all the fluid changes and stuff to see if my 72 914 would turn over. got a new battery and all that good stuff. Turn they key and nothing happens but a click from the starter. Doesnt sound like it is trying to turn or anything. Is there anyway to hand crank the engine while still in the car to be sure it isnt locked up??

Put it in Fifth gear and turn the wheel with one wheel in the air. DON'T have the ignition on! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
