Sat. I washed my 73 2.0. f/i. After I dried it off it wouldnt start. It cranks over fine but no run.... I then noticed I did'nt hear the fuel pump buzz. I waited a bout 30 min. and tried it again. I heard a little buz and it tried to start but would not. I let it sit 30 min more and when I tried to start it it was as it the timing was to far advanced and would barely turn over. Since then I have charged the battery, and put a timing light in each plug wire. I would get inter. light on some and none on 2 cyls. I am getting fuel in the cyls. as I can see and smell it when I take a plug out. Someone help out this poor old v-8 muscle car guy get this car running for his wife.....
