[kasper]

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.

[kasper]

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

[73chevytruck]

are you getting spark at all the plug wires?

[kasper]

i will have to check i no i am getting it at number one

[Eroq]

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!

[kasper]

i would not fire off starting fuild i truns over like it wonts to fire but no go

[73chevytruck]

change your spark plugs, that most likely your problem,

[betterbeaters]

check your cap and rotor!

[kasper]

changed plugs cap and rotor look good my budy thinks that their mit not be a nuff power going to the distributor

[betterbeaters]

check the coil and mod.

[73chevytruck]

are you sure that your getting spark?

because it dont sound like you are,

[kasper]

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

[kasper]

i put brand new ones in it r45st's

[betterbeaters]

have you put in a new coil??

[J.C.]

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?

[kasper]

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

[betterbeaters]

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
