Hey, I had a few troubles but sorted them all out. Finally got the car running and it idled good, not great but good. Left it alone idleing for a lil and then it quit. Now the car cranks but will not start. Timing is at 10 and I have fuel pressure. Just keeps cranking, any ideas what it could be? Again it idled fine until it quit. Thanks in advance

BTW, I havent drvin it, it was just idleing in my garage

you probably fouled out the plugs or the coil may have quit working.........i know last time i had the heads off of my car.................i was trying to start it swearing i had the timing right........WRONG>>>>>>>>> and i was trying to crank it......after i got the timing right.......it still wouldn't crank......culprit wound up being a bad coil.............take the coil to the auto parts store like auto zone......and have it tested......

if not that....1 thing will be ruled out.....

Hooked the timing light up to the coil wire and cranked it, sure enough no spark from the coil, thanks again. I need to learn not to post on stangnet before I try the basics first. Thanks again. ANyone wanna recommend a coil? Do any stores(napa/pep boys) carry msd coils or aftermarket coils?
