[QUOTE=vetteblack]Are you saying you think its hydro locked from fuel? As long as its not hot, it will not catch on fire. As an added precaution, pull the coil wire so you get no spark to the wires.[/QUOTEi took a plug out fuel came out the hole on 3 of them

A 1988 with a coil in cap, HEI has no coil wire that can be pulled. on the left side of the distributor you will find a number of wires that plug into the cap from the bottom. Unplug and remove the large, pink wire, labeled on the cap as "BAT". With that wire disconnected your whole ignition system is dead.
RACE ON!!!
