wont start at all... nothing...
cranks and cranks but doesnt fire.
Its getting fuel i can see it squirt when i pump the gas. its getting spark, i pulled a plug and cranked it with plug on end of wire grounded to exhaust manifold and im getting spark.
a couple times when i was cranking it it sounded like a gear was grind or hit out of sink.... i thought it was maybe the flywheel had a tooth missing or a worn starter gear causing but now im thinking may have skipped timing. I pulled the valve cover and kinda spun the push rods to see if the wobbled like they were bent and they seemed ok.
the timing cover doesnt seem to have any timing marks on it. the vehicle is a 69 but the numbers on the front of the motor suggest that its a 73 engine. the engine has a cast iron water pump that exits on the drivers side.
any suggestions on trouble shooting?
thanks in advance.
