Hi everyone. New to the forum and new to Dodges in general. I inherited an 85 D150 from my dad and since he loved that truck I have undertaken to restore it.
Apparently he had started some repairs but became ill and it all set in a pile for the last year or so.
I installed new timing chain and gears, plugs, wires, cap and rotor. It's not starting. I did the thumb over the number 1 plug hole and had timing marks lined up and rotor pointing to number 1 so I believe it's timed correctly. May have a weak spark. I took a break from the heat and started reading but I'll go check voltages and wiring and add any pertinent info.
