    Cleaning and Restoring Cap

    Thank you, I was worried about how it would turn out. Last time the engine had been started was 92. It was in a backyard uncovered for that whole time under a tree. I scooped out 3-4 inches of soot and vegetation. Water had filled up under the floor because it couldn’t drain, carb was in pieces...

    Cleaning and Restoring Cap

    I have a 1975 Chrysler Sport Satellite that I purchased last year. I am going to start doing some detailing soon to paint, getting rid of buttons and screws not used, repair small screw holes, and clean up the cap. Any ideas or suggestions on restoring the shine and getting rust stains off the...

    So I think I have it narrowed down to no spark from the distributor. Hopefully my process was correct but what I did was take the black and white wire off from the coil and turned the flywheel by hand. As I got to each cylinder I touched the wire to a ground.

    Thank you, I will check it again. I do know that the timing marks on the flywheel and the distributor are all where they should be but I will check the spark plug at those points.

    I cleaned the carbs ands had to rebuild them drop the lower unit checked the new plugs for spark sprayed the cylinders to make sure they were free and put new fuel in. Tried to take all suggested steps. I haven’t cranked it over much to avoid damage. Should I be cranking it more?

    All the marks are lined up correctly from what I’ve read. I checked on the distributor and at cylinder number one. Timing seems to be on point.

    I recently purchased a 1974 Chrysler Satellite Sport with a 75Hp engine model 757HA that has been sitting outside since 92. I have replaced starter, wiring, plugs, fuel, cleaned and rebuilt carb. I have spark and really good compression in all cylinders. It’s cranking like it should but refuses...
