1 2

I have autozone check mine all the time

[Freshagen]

[Freshagen]

Has it fired up?

not yet man. I'm going to the junk yard today to pick up a couple of ignition coils to see if that's my problem.crossing fingers*

[itstatcb7kid707]

does it crank?

mine would just crank for the longest time, then found out the coil was bad.

yea it cranks.. I jus got back from autozone where they told me my coil was in spec.


sooooooo confused.

Do you smell raw fuel when you are cranking it? If not, Try spraying some starter fluid through one of the vacuum lines into the Plenum. It could be the ignition Module but that's an expensive guess if you have to buy it new.

[Freshagen]

yea I did. I can try my old module from the other dizzy that I know was working. here's a video man.

incase it doesn't work, here's a link

simple test.

All seems good. Did you use dialectic grease between the module and the mounting plate? Make sure all the wires attached to the module are all good connections. Check the integrity of the wires attached to the module as well. Also take the cap off and see if the rotor spins as you crank it, just for S&G. At this point I would get an actual spark tester as opposed to the screw driver trick. Although the screw driver should work you never know.

Are you sure you have all your grounds on and that they're in good spots????

You did do a wire tuck correct? I have a feeling its a ground. Triple check all grounding contact points. I had 2 friends suffer the same fate as you recently and they miss a ground lol.

[Freshagen]

Here are some pictures of all the grounds. am I missing any?

I just added in this junction box and tried again... still nothing. before it was the original flat ground connections you bolt down. I'm grounding it to a place that was an original ground before on the passenger side.


P13 connected in


Block grounded


Tranny grounded to old fuse box ground.


Tstat ground


what am I missing?

[itstatcb7kid707]

You checked out the fuses right?

yessirr. all fuses are in tact

Grounds seem ok.

Now my next duggestion is to run your stock battery harness, 4ga maybe to small to carry the current ro the starter
