68' 289 that has been sitting with the engine / trans out for a while. Just got everything back together. I messed with it for a while to get the timing correct, I had it 180 when I put it back together. It is now correct. In the process, I was afraid the old battery was getting weak, so I picked up a new one toady. The engine turns over fine, but will not start.
I have verified several time that:
1. The timing is correct
2. It's getting fuel
3. All 8 wires are getting spark (it has new plugs also)
Looking through a tech manual I saw that the voltage on the starter connection should be 10.5 VDC or better when starting. I am getting 10.1 - 10.3. I check resistance on all the battery cables and the highest resistance I saw was 00.3 ohms, a.k.a. practically no resistance.
Also replaced the starter solenoid.
Any other suggestions?
