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? |

I'm going to check the rest this week, but need to get the grommet in my socket so I don't lose the plugs again under the tin... Loosen the spark plugs, then push a short length of fuel hose over the top of the spark plug. Twist the hose/plug and it will come free without falling. |
