I put new spark plugs and wires in and it wont start. I put in a newer fuse box under the hood to solve my problem with the alternator not charging. But now it wont fire up, it will crank over. Could it be that my timing is off on my dizzy?

And I dont think im fuel and spark but I dont know how or what to do to fix it.

Its a 305 TBI if that helps.

 

I'm not quite sure what this means. Generally speaking, if the car ran before you did a repair, then generally either the repair un-masked another problem that was lurking or you caused it. If you did any adjusments to the distributor, then chances are you've knocked the timing off. I'm PRETTY sure you can borrow/rent a timing light from an auto parts store to check it though.

If you aren't getting fuel either though, there's 2 faults in there. Once again, check your work on the fuse box.

I'm confused though, how did replacing a fuse box fix an alternator not charging properly?

 

theres a fuse for the alternator that wasnt any good so i changed that out not the whole fuse box out. But I was having this trouble for a while. The truck ran but i figured once i fixed one thing i knew another thing was gong to go wrong.

 

I need to remember how to work on 305's since my RS has one.

Merrill, did you see that I know have a 3rd gen too!! hehe

 

Oh noes!

I finally got mine moving again. Still doesn't stop though with the assistance of Newton's Law on another object.

So gimme your brakes. KTHXBYE.
