    Car won't start (still). I can't deal with this. Make me an offer and it is yours.

    My friend is coming over tomorrow. His friend has a timing light and a bunch of other tools. Tomorrow is the last chance. If it doesn't start then I don't know what to do. I am moving and I NEED this car to run.

    What are you suggesting I do after I get #1 to TDC? I will check, but I am sure the rotor will point to the #1 plug wire.

    NOPE, nothing. I tried advancing, retarding, in the middle, It didn't even try.

    I didn't take the wires out of the looms, so they are on right. I changed the pickup with the distributor on the car. I will try to mess with the timing by rotating the dist a little to see if that works.

    I have compression. It is hard to turn over manually and I can hear the air come out of the headers when i do it.

    I have neither. The comp. is 10.5 to 1. It is a 331 engine with 3100 miles. When the car stopped, it was not violent, it just felt like I ran out of gas. It is not even trying to fire when I turn the key.

    I checked the #5 cylinder, should I check them all (I have a spare set of plugs, so I don't have to pull any)

    It is rotating. I also replaced the magnetic pickup (easier than I thought it would be)

    I have SEEN the spark from the box (as per directions from MSD) I have Felt the shock from the coil to solenoid (accidentally grabbed the metal with my hand) The cam does move the valves, the distributor's rotor does turn as well.

    I don't know if there is spark at the plug. What is the EXACT procedure? I was going to sell it anyway, just for a couple grand less. I can't get $34,000 back, I know that.

    I got spark from the box (with the MSD test). I got a jolt checking the coil as well. I don't know what to do anymore other than to turn it over to someone and let them have at it. (car turns over, just doesn't fire. It was running just fine until it stalled out and it hasn't started...

    I thought I took care of the spark problem, but I don't even know anymore. My fuel pump is a Mallory 140 GPH electric fuel pump. When I flip the switch, I get my pressure to 7 to 9 psi like I am supposed to. My filter is clean. I have gas in the tank. I can see gas squirt out of...

    Yeah, but I would have to have the car trailered and be charged for the help with NO gurantee that it would work.

    Stereo advice - Please!

    I have plenty of sound with 2 6x9s (any decent brand) installed in the back deck, and a pioneer cd player. That is it, no amps or anything. 3 pieces total. More than that and it starts to get heavy.

    I am serious. $21,500 or best offer, you come get it or have it shipped. I have posted pics many times. You can fix the problem for about $500, but I have no more patience. About $34K invested. 3000 miles on a TOTAL restoration, I just can't get it to start for some reason. I want...

    Might as well start a thread - Maybe trading the 65 for a Contemporary Classic cobra

    I will keep the 65 if I can. I might be able to, depending on how soon I get my new job. I like the frame on the FFR cars.

    The roadsters are 13,000 The coupes are 15,000 Basically, the roadsters cost anywhere from $25,000 to $45,000 when finished. The coupes = $32,000 to $60,000. It depends if you use a donor 5.0 or if you use brand new parts, IRS, new engines, etc. I want a roadster with a 5 link...
