I need help with a no start issue, any takers.

 

does it attempt to start or is there no current running at all?

Based on all the info given, if it's still cranking, then I'd have to say it's either a no-spark or a fuel delivery problem. A better description of what it's doing might help to givea better answer.

 

I cant post more than a line or two at a time for some reason so here it goes again.

Bought a 78 Camaro, supposedly with a 69 corvette 350. Did an oil change right away and found out that the dipstick tube was broken. No problem, ordered a replacement, wrong part came, returned it, wrong part again and again. So I fixed my old tube and reinstalled it. Now the first thing is, as far as I know GM didnt make a passenger side dipstick until 81, if this is true it cant be a 69 corvette motor.

 

Long story short, had to rewire spark plugs and no start.

 

Tried many different configurations, replaced the wires, plugs cap rotor and coil. Still no start. Could there be a different firing order for a later moded small block 350?

 

1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2, that's it. So it ran before you messed with the plug wires? Any chance you may have crossed anyof the wires? Did you remove all the wires and start over, or do one at a time? Make sure #1 cylinder wire is on the #1 terminal of the dist. cap (with #1 cyl at TDC compression stroke). Then follow the firing order in a clockwise rotation on the dist. cap.

 

Rewired car several times in a couple configuration just to be sure. Replaced the plugs wires cap rotor and coil. Still no luck.

 

Have you checked with a meter to see that you still have power going to the ignition coil with the key on? And no, your engine with a pass. side dipstick isn't from a 69 Vette. To see what you have, check the casting # on the block near the drivers side bellhousing, the date casting on the pass. side, and the engine code in front of the pass. side head.
