What a day...

[ramthis9501]

Well earlier at lunch I walked out to my truck to of course go to lunch, get in, turn the key and it won't start. It cranked but wouldn't fire. So my dad came up with his trailer to take it home later, but before we did that, he looked under the hood and first thing he sees... the coil wire going to the distributor was resting on the manifold. Moves it off of it, cranks it and it fired right up. Guess it was just grounding it out. So I went and got a new coil wire, about to go put it on in a minute.

Here was the problem

Yeah, that happens. At least it was an easy fix.

At least you have center caps now. ;)

The coil wire was on the exhaust manifold?

[ramthis9501]

Yeah the wire was way to long to begin with so it was sitting right on the manifold.

At least you have center caps now. ;)

That did help make the day better lol

Ok..but it was run along the intake manifold/valve cover right? I could see where too much slack might have it end up in the exhaust. There's supposed to be a clip that presses on your lower corner valve cover bolt to keep that from happening.

[ramthis9501]

Yeah there was alot of slack, I'll have to go look for that clip and make sure the new one is secured good

Or ...run the slack out back by the distributor. Not too much though :)

That's what I did instead
