i got an 85 camaro 2.8L v6 some kid wants to come look at rt today and buy it... awesome. well last time i started it was a week ago.



I go to start it today and all it does is crank over... wont start... so im like, ok the ****** more than likely flooded again.



I tanke out the plugs and clean them and crank it over w/o the plugs in to deflood it. i put the -plugs back in and go to start it again.... nothing, it cranks but wont start.



I know im getting fuel because i can smell it and i know there was air so im like ok, its not sparking.



I take off a plug boot, put my finger on the end of it and crank the car over.... nothing.



So now im all like well, WTF!!!!! so i clean off the ignition coil and try it again... no spark.



I take off my cap and check the rotor... both in perfect condition.



I know the car is timed because i put a new distrubitor in it about 3 months ago and drove it once.



Anyone have any ideas?????

I reccomend NOT putting your hands around spark plugs when cranking the car...



Just hold the plug to ground and watch it, make sure you are holding the boot.
