Default no spark (only cranks, doesn't start)

Mustang started/ran FINE, took it off the road and it sat for months, while sitting i did a battery location kit and put a new trans in/clutch.

Everything back together, it doesnt start. only cranks.

Checked the spark on a wire going to a plug, and nothing.

Power wire going to coil pack is hot.

Any ideas?

Problem was: Cut the factory brown tach wire going to the coil and ran my own wire to my tach (before I figured out i could just tap into the brown wire behind the instrument cluster), anyway, the car apparently don't get a pulse if you do that...


Its amazing what a full weight reduction (wheels too), underdrive pulleys, battery relocation kit will do do your accelleration!!!!!!

SO MUCH faster.

oh and btw promotion cobra t5 /FRPP cobra clutch kit = very good combo so far!!!

im happy, just drove my car for the first time today in prob. a half of year.
