Re: 86 Scottsdale - No start

So check for spark!
And then go thru the process of retiming it.

As I stated in the original post. It has spark. As I have been trying to start it my timing light has been on and flashes at me as expected. The closest it gets to starting is with the choke closed and the accelerator to the floor. I can check timing tomorrow maybe, but on a rebuilt engine, that has been running fine for 200+ miles without problems... doesn't feel like timing to me. In another note this may or may not be related, last time I drove it to Portland, Or from Salem (Bout 40 Miles) it did just randomly die while driving 70 mph. Pulled over to the side of the road and it fired right up and away I went without a problem.
