Hey guys
I had a blown bulb in my dash and I am doing the 5 speed swap next year. I changed the bulb and moved the speedometer cable. The car started up once. I turned it off and tried it again and it won't start. It tries to turn but it never kicks over. Is there something I am missing when I put the dash back together? I think I am just an idiot and I am missing something obvious. Thanks!

Nevermind. I figured out what I did. I don't deserve to own a Mustang.

I am a jackass. When I was disconnecting the negative side of the battery I must have knocked off the wire that goes from the distributor to a connection on the drivers side of the car. This took me about an hour to figure out....amnit:
