Another **Wont Start** **No Spark**
Ok guys another one of these post. I put a 5.3 60E in a 70 chevy. I went to try to start it and it wont start. I come to realize that it has no spark. I have checked the grounds. I have the two grounds that hook up in the back of the truck, and I also have that dreadful one that is just under the power steering pump. How many grounds are there. from some post i Read 3 around the engine and from a post from thunder550 he says 5 so which on is it?
The other thing is that I have read the flyer thread:
https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...+spark&page=13
And there is some good info on testing the coils but really it is just a little to advanced for me. I am running out of ideas who can help. The other thing to mention is that I re-did the harness to the truck. I took my time and was very careful... and everything seems to be working when I hook it up to the scanner, Throttle, O2, MAP,

-One will connect to the firewall
-Two will connect from the harness in the back to the block
-Then two will connect under the power steering pump.
Ok then I am missing one, because I have two connected by the power steering pump and then two connected at the back of the engine. The one missing has to be in the back somewhere.

Chris this is what you mean right?
-One will connect to the firewall
-Two will connect from the harness in the back to the block

On the side I had the big ground wire from the battery and another ground wire that went into the harness.

The third is the ground strap hmmm. I dont have that one. I just have the two that are both going to the firewall. I checked both of the grounds from the harness and the firewall is supplying ground. You think that I should try to ground it the same way like the our style pickups???
