4.7 V8 289 Start problem
i dont know, i never tried, it started raining so i pushed it into the garage and i just went to check if the battery had a charge. before I tried to start it the first time yesterday though, i had taken the fuses out because i wanted to put some new ones in but i never could because i didnt know if the were agc or sfe. so anyways, i went to start it and nothing happended, so i popped the old ones back in , and thats when it almost started. for some reason it seams as though the fuses have something to do with my ignition.
OK well, the engine still turns over, turns out the battery just drained. It sounded to me like a distribution problem to me so i took of the disributer cap and tested the power going to the distributer by turning the car "on" and pried a flat head in between the metal lead on the rotar and the ruber. my friend told me if it sparks then im good and if it doesnt im basically skrewed, and sure enough nothing. it looks like it might be the electronic ignition upgrade that i told you about or the actual distributer. Any suggestions?

Check forbattery voltagewhile cranking at the + side of the coil. Check the - side of the coil for voltage pulsing. Check for 9-12 volts (+side of the coil) while the ignition is on but not cranking- this confirms the resistor wire is intact. if these are there, then the no spark issue maybe in the coil or points or cap or rotor, etc...
well i didnt think it matered which way the rotar was set up so while i was skrewin around with it it might have put it back wrong, but i just found out it mattered, as for the wires, im doin that tomarrow, can anyone tell me which each wire is on the coil, i cant find it in my books
