The newly rebuilt engine is on a stand and has never been fired before so I am just checking for spark now before that first start. I plan on running it on the stand before putting it in the car. I dont want to crank it until I know that it has spark.
Just trying to set static timing without using the starter. I have connected a 12 gauge wire to the Bat terminal from the + terminal on the battery. I used a jumper cable from the - terminal on the battery and connected the other end to the block
When I removed the distributor out of the block and grounded it and then rotated it, I got spark.
When I installed the distributor again and tried to get spark the same way it was a NO GO....Not sure what the problem here is....
