Need some help... About 3 months ago I blew the head gaskets out due to overheating issues. Changed out the gaskets and had one of the heads resurfaced due to warping. Still had overheating problems and blew the dam head gaskets out again. Just got everything back together again and the car won't start. I didn't turn the engine and put the distributor back in same position as last time. Acts like no fuel or spark. I can hear the pump and smell gas in the engine bay.
I read this post from jrichker and can't figure out what to jump...

1.) Remove push on connector (small red/blue wire) from starter solenoid and turn ignition switch to the Run position. Place car in neutral or Park and set the parking brake. Remove the high voltage coil wire from distributor & and hold it 3/8” away from the engine block. Jumper the screw to the big bolt on the starter solenoid that has the battery wire connected to it. You should get a nice fat blue spark.
Most of the items are electrical in nature, so a test light, or even better, a voltmeter, is helpful to be sure they have power to them.
He says to jump the screw to the big bolt on the starter solenoid, does he mean the screw that had the red/blue wire on it? So I run a jumper wire(maybe a 14awg wire) from the screw to the big bolt that holds the battery wire?
And does anyone have pics of what to do? Video? Also would like to know where the PIP sensor is to check.
Thanks in advance.
Tom
