Barracuda No-Start
In Addition;
Hang on, the thing sparked when he spun it by hand!!
My question is/are;
is the intermediate shaft in and spinning, and if it is, then
is the distributor driveshaft spinning, and if it is,
is it properly indexed to the cam-plate, and if it is......
is the rotor on and turning,lol,, and if it is,
is it sparking at the right time.
This shouldn't be rocket-science; if it sparked when spinning the D by hand, it should spark when installed; if the rotor is spinning, and the pick-up is properly gapped and secured, with good wiring out of the D.
The D does not require a ground....... as you have already proven, and in fact; the pick-up must NOT be electrically grounded, both points already mentioned.
