HELP, Car Won't Start
I have a 73 L48.
All I have done is change the spark plugs. They are gapped correctly and I did them one at a time. I turn the key and it will not turn over. All you here is a clicking sound.
I ordered a tune up kit from Ecklers and it came with the spark plugs. So, before I go ahead and change anything else I figured I would try and start the car after I had changed the plugs, but nothing.
Any ideas as to what it could be or trouble shooting I could try?
Much appreciated.
