  • Just start already!¿

    i cleaned my bay the other day making sure i didnt get water in the carb or on the distributor. fired it up and put it back on the drive. the next day i figured i wash the rest of the car. started it up and it sounded like it was choking. would run smooth but with a little gas would shake and put a little. so i poped off the cap and wires to see if there was water or w/e and figured i would give it time to dry up a bit. put it back together and now it wont start at all. its killing i need my car its my dailey driver. im sure everything is hook up correctly.. does anyone know what else could be happening? im smashing head against the wall over here. and i have empty pockets. so i cant take it to a shop. /

    check the timing and make sure the wires arent arching and that they are in the correct firing order
