Won't crank, engine spins? - Page 2

After reading... went and checked the connector, wiggled here wiggled there... nothing suspicious. Found the ground wires, they were on the bolt, but it wasn't pulled up tight. Swapped the bolt for a shorter one, pulled up tight... Little ecouragement but she fired up...
Pretty sure it was the ground wires...
Timing needs improvement... when I had teh head machined and rebuilt, I didn't see the special instructions, for installing a "new" timing belt. Used the same dowel locations in the front of the cams. as when removed. Goning to break it back down to that part and come back up..., reading all the instructions.

Thanks for the help, looks like you nailed it.
