k maybe i'm not explaining it right, it completely rolls over and i can crank it all day but nothing. she cranks and rolls over fine but no hits no bumps no spits no sputters etc etc. I dunno how else to put it. nothing else was removed over the winter. all connections fine and have been the same since i parked it. I checked fuel primed and lots of pressure at the fittings main distrub cable connected and all plug wires of course arecorrect the rotor inside and points cleaned inside and out Solnoid connections ok. she won't get any sotta hits/bumps/spits/spudders unless i pretty much flud it in which i shouldn't have to do 91 gt efi, key turned back and fowd multi time to insure the pump and lines primed to max etc.

id check to see if shes getting spark to the plugs.. if so then id pull plugs and check condition of them make sure there not fouled... also what type(octane)of gas did you put in it before putting it down.... also did you start it at all this winter....

i knew that was gonna come up also my bad, whats the easyest way to check just a screw driver in #1 and bump her until it hits that cyl and see if she gets spark. problem is i only had me and my gf here so wasn't able to check and roll/bump car over and i think the gf would over crank it. etc.
