    We did a tune up to the car and now it won't start could there be a reasonable reason why? It turns over but it won't fire threw. It started with old dirty plugs but wouldn't stay running. So thats why we changed them. This isn't my 89 Olds wagon. It's my 63 Chrysler New Port. It has a 361. The plugs are also the correct plugs we already checked that out. It is really aggrevating.:banghead3:

    It's getting fuel alright. We tried it again today and it tried to fire through then after the 3 try it just turned over with no spark. We are looking at changing the coil and the rotor. When I say we it is my dad. We bought it together. It's are little toy. We got ride of a 70 Buick Electra and we have been wanting another since.

    Welp, we changed both of those. Condenser and Coil and it still just turns over. Then of course it started slowing down. Before is was just discouraging now it really is aggrevating. The fuel thing might be an option. When I pulled the left back plug out gas poured out and we wasn't even pumping it. Maybe it is flooding itself? I hope we find the problem soon.

    We found out one of those crappy connectors that are in the firewall went bad. It wasn't allowing the current to flow to the coil. I brushed it and it tried to fire through. The piece is like three bucks.
