[QUOTE="smc4wd, post: 1482684, member: 18999"] Well finally some stress has been removed... I've been trying to post pictures for 3 days but I can't. I may have used up my allotment. [IMG]http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c33/SMC4WD/build/20120414161740.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c33/SMC4WD/build/20120414174355.jpg[/IMG] He's some of the wiring mess my buddy Aaron has to deal with. [IMG]http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c33/SMC4WD/build/20120417144925.jpg[/IMG] We were getting power to the CPU but not the coil. I wanted to be safe (not sorry), so I went out and bought a new distributor. We just didn't trust the one that was on there. [IMG]http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c33/SMC4WD/build/20120417151406.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c33/SMC4WD/build/20120417145115.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c33/SMC4WD/build/20120417151628.jpg[/IMG] After installing the new dizzy, still no power. So we started pulling plugs and checking in the book for wiring schematics... It took all but 10 minutes to figure out what I thought all along. One wire wasn't right, or wasn't connected right or something. I just knew, it was one simple. stupid thing. And it was!! A jumper wire from the stock coil needed to be hooked to the battery for power. We had the connection from the dizzy to the coil, but the coil needed to be connected to the power. We did that, cranked it and got a spark from the spark plug on the hood. So we now had spark. Not knowing what to expect, I started videoing. I was waiting for a big backfire, or flames from the intake... Watch and see for yourselves... [YT]<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_xC1jRjtxhA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>[/YT] [url]http://youtu.be/_xC1jRjtxhA[/url] Today I'll go back to the junkyard and get that factory jumper wire, a few more wires for the alternator and start the mess of cleaning it all up to look good. But finally, after sooo long. [B][I]"It lives!!!"[/I][/B] :cheer: While he was working on the ignition, I played a bit with the center console.
