Looks like I burned a vacation day for nothing. This thing isn't going to start. I've positioned the distributor both ways and it won't catch. Bill, at DMCH asked how fast the engine was cranking. Well, the truth is, not very, and it has to have some speed if it's going to catch. I've cleaned all the ground points, battery connections and such. I've got a new Optima battery @ 700 or so cold cranking amps and a trickle charger that has the 50 amp "start booster" function on it. None of that makes it crank over any faster. After cranking for only 5-10 seconds the starter is pretty warm to the touch. If anyone else has any other ideas I'm all ears.
