But now its not catching. I checked the distributor and it was a little off...

    Quick Question!!!!

    I never connected this cable, some people said it could be to some aftermarket thing. Could this be the problem? What if I connected the other negative side of the jumper cable to the engine?? i also see some smoke sometimes coming from the negative side of the jumper cable. is that bad?

    alright youve convinced me to go buy the prime tool and coolant. Ill just have to wait another day:( . Also how old do you have to be to register a car and how does that work? Right now its registered as no-op and hasnt been registered since 03 but its all up to date as far as payments go.

    Last minute checks before I start brand new engine??

    Im alittle confused on what you mean by prime it. I got a new oil pump and I primed that really well before I put it in (filled it up with oil, rotated the stick thing until about half came out, and filled it back up again). Would filling the engine up with oil and rotating it from the crank a...

    New engine in!!! Where does this wire go???

    I figured it out. The cylinder that was in the PS was just slightly jamed and all I had to do was push it to one side and it came unjammed. There is a spring on the other side so all I had to do was just push the PS hose into it and it compressed.
