I'd had enough of doing little things, so I decided to go all out and get it started.
Bought a battery, bolted everything back on, and for the first time, turned the key....
Lights, gauges, signals, wipers, fuel pump, stereo, ignition, dome light: All good.
~Fuel pump continues to rap lightly~
No electrical fires.
Turn the key once more.....
The beast has been asleep for 15 years and wasn't prepared for me to be the first thing she sees when she wakes up.
No dice.
Not to worry, I ran through the usual diagnostics, compression 120 x 4 dry, 120-130 x 4 wet, plugs have gas on them. Fresh gas and all new stuff, but no fire at the plug.
Figure the timing is out. By now it's 94* and the sun is on the driveway, I'll try again next weekend.
The starter sounded really strong and I'm highly encouraged. She just hit the snooze button.
