    Personally, I think his muffler bearings have seized, causing the exhaust to back up into the crankcase...

    Could just be a banana in the tailpipe tho...

    Jumping steps here,,, If you were reading any mags on the new Mustang since your "planned" start,,, your hurting! Gotta have a zumba class for 3 days,, then proceed with start.

    One thing I did see,,, Both battery cables are "NEGATIVE" or black in color,,, Have no idea how your finding voltage anywhere!!! Gonna have to rethink above,,, then the oil pump antenna hole can be addressed,, Good Luck!!!! :tiphat:

    Well, that makes it very clear as to what you starting problem is. Your distributor hold down clamp bolt is missing. :shhh:
