[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16664404, member: 70025"] Then it was time to get under my dash and connect the wiring harness that controls my starter and fuel pump. I did not want those things running every time I put the key in the run position to do my initial set up of the computer. Once the wiring harness was hooked up I turn the key to the run position and I hear the fuel pump come on for 5 seconds. I cycled the key a few time to ensure the entire fuel system was primed. My fuel pressure would go up while the pump was priming, but as soon as the priming was done it would read zero. So, here it was time to turn that key to start. I was VERY nervous and was having second thoughts on turning that key LMAO. But, no guts no glory. I turn the key to start. She is cranking and cranking and no, I mean zero, pops or sputters. DAMN IT!!!! What now? LOL. So, I do my testing and come to find out she has zero spark. Now the power from the computer to the distributor is purely to manage timing. It has nothing to do with spark. Spark comes from my coil and MSD 6AL box. I run my checks. Spark plugs, no spark. Check my coil and no spark. Check my positive and negative wires connected to the coil and no power. So, I go to my 6AL box and it is not sending power to the coil. So, my MSD 6AL box is bad. Damn it! And she is buried deep under the dash. Going to be a little chore to get it out. Oh well, time to order a new digital MSD 6AL box with built in Rev limiter and LED light to indicate if it is working or not. I have the old dinosaur box that uses the rev limiter chips. Oh, and while I was trying to start the car my throttle cable snapped. G _ _ Damn it!!!! Now I need to take the stacks back off in order to fix that. S#!T!!!! Even though I'm off today I'm just going to take a break and relax after the 12 hours of driving on Saturday and 12 hours of trying to get the car to run on Sunday. And there you have the good and bad news LOL. It really is nothing major, but it's just going to take time to make these repairs :mad:.... [/QUOTE]
