ok. so last night we got everything together to verify the engine starts but ran into a minor issue. It wouldnt start.
Checked spark and its getting it. so the ignition system is working.
Checked timing and that is still dead on.
Compression was a bit low (90) but this was likely due to a low battery as it was winding down when i did the test. At least there was some compression. :)
No fuel. Made sure there was gas in the car by adding some i had in a gas can. Fuel pump is not turning on. I put 12v to the check wire on the fuel pump and the pump turned on. After 3 i will be getting a MPI relay from Mark to see if that is the issue. In the meantime, its time to fill up the tranny and transfer case and start bleeding the clutch and brakes and get some other minor stuff done. then once she is able to be started hopefully i can take her for a spin.

So, why would you fill up the tranny and xfercase *after* trying to start it? Lubrication. Do it dude!

Fingers x'd for MPI relay making this thing finally come to life! :D

^ doesn't need fluid in the tranny to run. He said START, not RUNNING/DRIVING. :D

Easiest way to check fuel pump: pull off fuel feed line from rail and see if gas comes out when you turn the key to on.

Hope that MPI relay fixes your issue.

Transmission components are still moving even if the car isn't.
