You know, I feel really stupid right now, I had a friend with me and
was testing some more... He says, heh the fan is turning, and indeed
it is. So everything is working fine, but I took the spark plugs out
way back so I could turn the crank by hand and don't have them back
yet. The motor is just spinning merrily along and whining because it
has no compression.
I think I'm going to buy a Pinto next, anyone care to help with that?
