After rewiring my Mav, she wouldn't start. For 2 weeks, I called the manufacturers tech support. No luck. They said everything should be fine.
I finally tracked it down by calling MSD ignition. The wiring diagram to the solenoid was wrong. I wire corrected, no problem.
It may sound stupid, but maybe the engine job was fine, and a wire is screwed up.
JMHO
: Okay, after only a year and half, I am finally trying to start my rebuilt 302. I am having no luck. I have spark, I have fuel. I am wondering if my timing is off or I have the wrong firing order. I am using an Accel 300+ box, Performer RPM cam/intake combo (cam is 4 deg advanced). I have a good ground on the engine block, I just can't seem to get the engine to fire. To set the timing, I rotated the engine over until the intake valve closed, continued until the piston was at the top of the stroke (used a long screw driver in the #1 s.p. hole), put the distributor so the rotor is right at #1. Still, no fire. Any ideas?
