Re: N00b with a 72 c20
Tried to start it this weekend. First tip is dont try to start it in Drive... Second tip is before filling with water make sure ALL your sensors are screwed in or plugs are in the holes...
I primed the oil pump up to 65psi ish for a 30 seconds to a minute. Drill was smoking!!
couldnt get any spark.
tested the ignition module and it tested good. I then tested the distributor pickup and it seems to be putting out way less than 1VAC. Hard to find a new pickup and the ones I saw were $50. Plus you have to remove the pin and gear from the distrib to replace it.
Bought a skipwhite distrib for $39 which includes cap, rotor, ignition module, coil, distributor. cant beat that with a stick. Should be here friday so I can try again to start this beast.
