No start issue Im a little frustrated
I am pretty certain the plug wires are on correctly. Its a mopar cap, with the #1 position marked clearly with the rotation marked (clockwise as you look from the top), using 18436572 firing order. The cap has two sets of marks for big and small blocks - and Im using the small block marks.
At lunch time today, I checked the firing position on #1 and it lines up with the #1 tower at TDC, and rechecked the grounds, all tight.
Picked up some platinum plugs and a dinky electric fuel booster pump. I'll be laying on the cement floor of the garage tonite installing the pump. If it gets in tonite, I'll slap the plugs in it and recheck the tdc firing position of #1, and give it another shot.
