I meant no spark, not no gas

OK, i wasnt able to get a vid, but i watched the engine bay while someone cranked it. The alternator fan IS turning, which means the engine is turning over, which means its not the starter. Could it be something to do with the firing order or not getting fuel? If you read my "starter" thread I don't have the wire that went from the Mallory Ignition to the starter anymore. -Mark Or maybe it is the starter and it is too far and is semi-engaging and i need to remove the spacers. I'm just scared if I remove them and try i may damage the teeth

No t shrieking. I can try to take a vid. It sounds like the starter is cranking but engine is not turning over

Just replaced the starter and alternator. I'm thinking it's 1 of 2 things because I can hear the starter working. #1 I need to remove shims/spacers from starter. or #2 the alternator belt is too tight. Any way to narrow down the problem? -Mark

usually a set of 4 or 2, wouldnt hurt to shoot them an email

still cheap plastic lines, but you can upgrade to rubber if you want.. mine run behind the flip license plate. You can literally fill it with a bike pum IF you wanted lol. I got my set on summit for 60-something dollars. -Mark

can you explain why you don't want airshocks?

installed new alternator and battery cutoff knob. Just waiting for the external voltage regulator -> internal regulator conversion wiring.

what should i do with the thin black one coming from the distributor?

thanks for your reply on BOTH threads Aaron!

my old starter had two shims so i put those in to be sure. I will connect the thick red wire (that goes above 12 oclock above the master cylinder) to the battery post. Quote: I do believe you'll need that larger red wire on the battery post does that mean the two battery wires will be going to the same post?

My alternator only has one ring terminal connection (the main BAT one). Where is the ring terminal labeled: '1' (D+) supposed to go?

$h!t thanks for the info... How do i disconnect my external regulator? Since i ordered one with an internal regulator: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/PWM-47294/ Is it even possible to just disconnect my external one? Is this what i need? http://static.summitracing.com/global/images/instructions/pwm-150.pdf

Do i have to do anything to align the gears?

just some advice: dont order a chrome alternator. I only did b/c it was about 30$ cheaper. But no bolt threads properly.... argggg

Sounds easy enough. So i will put the purple wire to the small one and the battery to the other. I wont connect the thick red one that goes to the firewall at 12 o'clock on the master cylinder. Nor will i connect the thin black one that goes to the distributor. Then i will pull distributor plug and test voltage while someone cranks the engine.

no MSD box that I can find. Do these pics help? If the easiest thing is to get a new idstibutor I may do that depending on price. I'm looking to revamp the car anyways.

i will post ASAP tonite

Is the mallory an electronic Unit (no points): I don't know. (I'm learning on this car lol) but i do know both my spark plug wire ends are female which I think means I have the new kind, right? Does it use the original feed from the firewall? The purple wire goes into the firewall at about 4 o'clock on the master cylinder, Does the 'R' wire at the starter still go to the coil?There is a black wire that goes to a clip on the mallory ignition unit. There were actually 4 wires going to 3-points. 1. Large battery wire to large bolt. 2. Smaller black wire: to 1 of the 2 smaller bolt. 3. Purple wire: To 1 of the 2 smaller bolts 4. Alternator wiring that went from a bolt that I don't remember to trhe firewall at 12 o'clock on the master cylinder.

I have a mallory distributor. Is that what you mean by electronic ignition?

Old starter had 3a wores going to it. New one only has spots for 2. Advice? Old one: One at 3 o'clock one at 9a o'clock and big one up top. New one:

found this website: http://www.brandsport.com/golugnuwhlof1.html never done business with them before, but great prices.
