    Are you using washer fluid or blinker fluid? They come in the same bottle the only difference is the color of the label...one is purple and the other is violet

    You gots to have air, fuel and spark. Have you added any of that to your window wash tank? You stated you had spark, do you have spark to your plugs? Does a plug spark out of the head when grounded to something? I had a problem like that back in the stone age. Turned out to be a massive vaccum leak caused by me when installing the intake manifold. Have you bought a can of air, fuel, spark at summit?

    I think your whatamcallit that bolts to the doohickey on the thingamajig that controls the whatizt that makes the goofball do the jig when you work the skyhook on the dobobble with you foot is loose. You're going to have to reverse the sinew and tighten up the skiskabob on the left turnbuckle 1/4 turn and it will fire right up!

    Ohh it might be you have negative polarity plug wires and you need to have the positive polarity ones for your spark plugs... Yes you must go to summit and Baby Jane's and that should put things properly into perspective.:thumbs2:
