NEED HELP! CRANK NO START!
I bought this bronco ii few months ago, motor had bad knock from bad main bearing and leaked oil but otherwise started up and ran no problem . I pulled the motor and purchased a rebuilt one. All I did was swap over accessories from old motor to new motor.
Installed new motor, hooked everything up and cranked but no start. I have spark to all 6 plugs Doesn’t sputter or anything with starter fluid. I have timed the distributor a dozen different times. Got cylinder 1 on TDC on compression stroke, same result, pulled distributor, 180 degree flip, same result.
I haven’t tested compression for exact measurements but I know each cylinder has compression. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
