No spark, need help!
I just buttoned up the install of my heads etc. on my '90 L98. It cranks over fine, is getting fuel, but no spark. Could I have done anything to the electronics in the distributor during the re-install? I labeled all the wires, but being that I installed an MSD 5 years ago, I'm not positive that I have all of the connections correct. I'm going to try to locate the MSD instructions :rolleyes: and if I'm successful, will re-check the connections. Anyone have any obvious or not so obvious things I should check out?

Just fyi...it helps when ALL of the spade connectors to the coil are properly plugged in under the dist cap. :rolleyes: Got it started. I now think that while I properly located #1 TDC with the heads off and got the valves adjusted, I might have installed the dist when the #6 was at TDC and therefore am 180 deg. out of phase. Tomorrow, tomorrow. :crazy:

For future reference a good resource for problems with MSD systems is the MSD website. You can download those stupid installation manuals that we all seem to lose
