this is what i got guys i have spark i have fule but it wont run plugs do look bad but it barly farts i am runing a holley blue pumpe it is set at 5 psi i have an edelbrock carb(1406) on it it is a small block chevy the truck ran 3 years ago when parked now it wont do you think not running an alternator has any thing to do with it help i am lost on this one ==pissed ==pissed ==pissed ==pissed ==pissed
what is the truck/motor?
if you have spark and you have fuel, then it should at least start,
might want to try and replace the plugs and maybe wires,
i had a motor that didnt want to start because of plugs, it ran great after changing them.
it is an 85 s10 on a blazer frame witha 305 bored 30 over and a 488 lift cam in it like i said it ran fine when parked i am just stumped right now
are you getting spark at all the plug wires?
i will have to check i no i am getting it at number one
will it fire off ether? if so it could be bad gas, accelerator pumps could be plugged up, few things... try firing it off ether, if not.. change plugs and try again!
i would not fire off starting fuild i truns over like it wonts to fire but no go
change your spark plugs, that most likely your problem,
check your cap and rotor!
changed plugs cap and rotor look good my budy thinks that their mit not be a nuff power going to the distributor
check the coil and mod.
are you sure that your getting spark?
because it dont sound like you are,
i put a spark tester on all the pulg wires and it has spark but my budy thinks it is to weak it had an nice orang bolt on the tester
plugs
i put brand new ones in it r45st's
have you put in a new coil???????????
are the wires on in the right order? ya said its getting spark, but it might not be going the right way. if the mod was bad, it wouldnt spark at all i dont think. and has the timing been changed? and is the distributor tight?
not yet goin to go to town and get a coil and a mod to see if that helpe"s thank you guys for all your help it is hard to think of every thing when you are doing things on your own my budy can only help for a few hours every other sunday so i am tying to do it all on my own
good luck I bet once you change them it shoud run
had the same problem with my suburban. Wires were on wrong. #1 cap points to #1 cylinder, and firing order 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 clockwise around the cap. looking at front of motor the drivers side bank is odd(1-3-5-7) and passenger side is evens(2-4-6-8). http://www.chiltonlibrary.com/content/images/9102/images/91022g03.pdf
Hope this helps, let us know what happens or what the cause was!!
if its been sitting for more than 30 days with gas in it i would think that its bad gas . the fuel we get nowdays breaks down really fast. last spring my bogger started up just fine the next week it wouldn't run . had to pull the carb apart and clean out the jello from inside.
thanks i will let you guys no
dump fresh gas downt the carb it would fire eaven if the gas in the tank went bad and gummed it up
did you get this running again yet?

I'm with F4x4C. I think the wires are on in the wrong order or the distributor came loose and turned. If it won't fire off ether, it's not a fuel problem. If you're getting spark in through a tester I don't think it's the coil. Check your wires, they might be on 180 degrees off. Check timing. I bet that's gonna be your problem.
no not yet guys i have been working 6 days a week i got a new job and it is going well i will be getting back on the truck soon
module normally wont stop it from starting just dies the more rpms you turn. we dont run a alt on my racecar and we only charge the battery for a couple hours befor we race.
u have 2 of the basics the one your missing is compression do u have compression.
X2 on bad gas...try dumping some fresh gas down the carb!
Might be low compression from the cylinders rusting up sittin so long. Maybe pull all the plugs, spray wd-40 in all the holes and crank it over till it turns real freely, then put new plugs in check firing order and THE POSITION OF THE ROTOR IN RELATION TO THE CAP? ??? ;D
delete please
