Yep. TFI is a better bang for the buck, mostly because it's fewer bucks. You get the same bang either way.dodgerammit wrote:No need to spend the $$$ on HEI in my opinion. The duraspark setup is actually pretty nice. Get it running first with a new module. After you get the kinks worked out and decide she is worth keeping, upgrade to a basic MSD box to replace the factory ignition module and do the TFI plug wire, coil, cap, and rotor swap. Best bang for buck as I see it. Vacuum lines should be a top priority. If they are bad, the can cause rough running/no start as well. Use IMGUR to host pics. I get the same error no matter how I resize or crop otherwise.
Id start by putting a fuel can under the front. Hook fuel pump to it. disconnect other end of pump and verify pump is working. Sitting that long of a time can cause the diaphram to go bad. Go from there.babywag wrote:Check for spark, never assume...
Check for fuel @ carb...3 gallons is not much fuel, especially if the system was dry, and possibly the tank pickup sock is gone(common).
The tar may be from a previous module failure.
Get it running before throwing parts @ it, today's aftermarket stuff is junk and a roll of the dice.
You could replace everything and still have a no start situation.
This is what I was thinking. Fuel pump may have blown out. Try spraying a bit of starter fluid and see if it runs for a moment, if it does then you know it is probably a fuel issue. Or put a small amount of gas, just a couple of table spoons, down the carb and try starting. Make sure to put the air cleaner back on so if you get a back fire you don't start a fire.dodgerammit wrote:Id start by putting a fuel can under the front.

You have to look at their behinds.Sir Chomps wrote:Thank You DERF!! Yep. She's pretty much stock. I couldn't tell if it is the 2100 or 2150. I bought a "Haynes" manual. It doesn't really say how to tell them apart, unless I'm missing it, which is very possible LOL!
Thank you for the info!
