out of ideas, wont start

So i finally had someone watch while i crank, its not spraying at all, any suggestions? fuel filter?

Now test fuel pressure. You have to Tee in a gauge where the fuel filter goes. TBI small block spec is 9~13 psi but you really want to see at least 10.

If you DON'T have fuel pressure then the likely suspect is the pump.

If you DO have fuel pressure then the likely suspect is the ignition module inside the distributor.

If fuel pressure good + no injector spray is also combined with no spark at the plugs, then the ignition module is really bad.

I'm in the middle of replacing the sending unit in the tank now, it definitly has pressure, don't have a gauge on me but I'll probably buy one or rent one.

So i have no spark at spark plugs, the only other ignition thing i haven't changed is pickup-coil. Any other ideas

Good news. Still cheaper than taking it to a mechanic and you have updated some stuff.

Right^ I love figuring out stuff my self instead of just taking it to a mechanic
