Need help with no spark

You don't want to run it that way for long, just to see if it starts.

In looking at those grounds, you still may have issues. Is the spot on the head cleaned off? The firewall? The core support??

No, the intake is powder coated and we didn't want to damage it...

No, we didn't clean off the spot on the head or intake, but we did chase all threads with a tap so the threads should be clean virgin metal...

I did wire brush the contact point for the body ground at the front header panel where the 10 gauge wire goes to...

Should we scrape paint off the contact patches???
