No Start, No Problem...
Sorry to jump in to this forum for the first time, but there aren't any real threads for my truck. It's a P400 chasis with 300ci 6cyl and 4 speed tranny.
Problem. It won't start, getting fuel and a yellow spark. Just cranks without even a thought of starting. I have used starting fluid but it still nothing. I recently purchased it and it did run. It had new plugs and wires, cap, rotor, points and condenser, when purchased. Siince it wont start I have replaced the coil and battery cables (badly needed). Cleaned every ground contact I can find and doubled checked everything I could think of. Checked the resistor wire from plug end to plug end and there is about 2ohms of resistance, so that's probably ok too. The guy also installed a new starter switch, I don't know how his wiring was on that. All the connections looked good, though.
Any Ideas? Could someone furnish me with correct hookups to ignition switch?
Thanks in advance.
