10 years ago

[guf]

I was here a lot reading and learning....I tell people I learned to restore my truck from this website. Amazing what you can absorb from here. I learned to weld, paint, and take things apart. I did too much at one time and learned to be patient. There wasn't a lot of youtube videos at the time and I was able to get this truck mostly together and then my situation changed and i had to employ help to finish. For the last 10 years it has be extremely reliable. I live in the city so its hard to find time to drive it. It spends time in the garage and then once a month I get it started and take it out.

A few weeks ago went out to start. I pump the gas a few times, turn the key and it takes 15 seconds or so it fires up. this time was the same except the gas pedal got stuck under the floor mat and the truck revived super high. I turn it off and have not been able to get it started since. I THINK I'm not getting a spark but was getting 12 volts at the ignition coil.

I'm not really in the repair mode mind set so its hard to articulate what I've been doing or need to do.
I replaced the cap and rotor, ignition coil, and starter switch. Then last night I realized that my wires were wrong going to the distributer cap. I straighten that out but still not starting.

Any thoughts or suggestion on what to do next?
