Won't start
Help,
Truck has been running fine. Today, it cranks strong...but won't kick. LIke it's not getting spark. It's an 1980 with 454 with electric fuel pump and Holley 750 carb. Smells like it's getting gas. Any tips? (Thanks!) |

Have you checked the ignition module? When it goes you don't get any spark.

Check the lead going into the side of the distributor. It may be loose. Mine has done this a couple times.
