I tried nothing and I'm all out of ideas! What could be the issue?

Have a couple other abandonments too on this land.
Did you try a lighter? :D ;D

:D There may have been a sparking of some sorts there, but nothing strong enough to get that dang Chevy to start and drive me off to space! :D
Well... stupid_smiley
Just sayin! ;)
Not intended to be at you, but with you.
Keep us updated on the situation reports (sitrep)

This one might be gone though lol . Poor toyo.
There's some good steel in that seat though, wire and frame steel rod
Maybe the license plates are loose? That job I just finished had so many vehicles and implements I couldn't count them, if I had started taking pictures I would have never gotten anything done. But this one caught my eye because it looked like it just needed a tuneup (and an engine, and some tree work).

Now that's a "eco-powered" car! A v- TREE(v8, vtree, my lame joke) :D
Hopefully it's left there. I'm gonna be cleaning up a lot of the junk here but there are a a couple I wanna leave, one being The blue chev
Fertilized with old conventional oils and rust it's whole life that tree lol
I would check the timing.

What code did it throw?
I think this one has been converted to manual timing advance, you have to retard the timing to start and run at low rpm (put the acorns close to the squirrels) but as you want to accelerate you need to advance the timing (move the acorns further from the squirrels).
Security system has locked out the ignition due to the radio being removed - happens all the time.

Oh its definitely bad timing. About 35 years out of wack.
You need a dwell meter. :D
He doesn't want to dwell on this too long, times a'wastin. smiley_horserider
I'm SO glad that my doorless Taco runs EXTREMELY well! I was just in it running in town today. And not one popo said a thing. I guess had hands full with other issues, even the ones sitting PERFECTLY still :D.
What can I say, I'm blessed enough to make sure that ALL of my ducks are in a row and 100% on the up & up.
Like Mel Brooks said in one of his movies, "it's good to be da king", even though "I" couldn't find 2 nickles to rub together :laugh:. Oh well, not my problem, but they all realize that I'm doing everything right when they see me ::)
There's no ignition key.

Finally someone found my problem! I was thinking this would have been the first reply lol with all the wise guys here
Thanks for inquires fellas, found the issue, blown motor mounts obviously. Motor is tilted back a bit.

Not sure what I'm gonna use these axles for, but that's some good high carbon steel right there lol
You have to add lead to the fuel to keep old ones like that running :P.

It's the gas, If you would buy high test you could put it back where it belongs. Also those uniset points where never any good.
