After the wife's dance school recital, things are now getting back to a dull roar. Got some time in on the bronco. I think I am going to be in need of a wrench and roast soon. I am slowly getting signs of life.
I located TDC to the best of my ability. Ended up using a pressure/vacuum gauge since I am a one man operation.
Today I went ahead and put in a new coil, new voltage regulator, just so the variables are taken out of the sequence.
Turned the motor over and got the "I really want to start but just can't pull it off" sound. Enough to put a tiny haze in the garage. Burning off 6 or 7 years of sitting maybe. Gave up before the battery was going to give up. Probably a missing something in the fuel delivery department. I suspect that I may have flooded it, or it wasn't getting enough. Didn't have time to investigate, as the wife informed me that the Chinese food needed to get picked up....and I love Crab Rangoon.
