ok, just got done installing my newly rebuilt KA, and i turn the key (aka screwdriver--in the process of adding a push start), and i hear the starter just click---click. are the teeth on the starter off from the flywheel teeth? if so, or if not, how do i fix it?

 

have someone hold the car to start. tap starter.

rinse repeat.

if it engages by tapping it with prybar/hammer/bat then your starter needs rebuilt/replaced

 

its actually almost new!

 

well looks like i win jack off of the year award...everything was hooked up right...just forgot to plug the sparkplugs into the plug wires lol! HAHAHA man, thats trouble shooting for ya!

 

Now it will turn over and i believe i have fuel pressure, but there is no spark. What could be this problem...distributor is on, plugs are plugged into barely used platinum +4 spark plugs.

 

that your first prob don't use those plugs there fien to get it running but i would not use them

 

what plugs do other people use?

 

NGK. And coppers or something cheap to get a resurrected car running well. I'd be pissed fouling out $5 Bosch +4s.. but I wouldn't buy them. And you will foul them out. I went through 2 sets of Bosch Platinum ($.99 each) before my car ran right. +4s ran like hell on my 'Vette, and on a friend's 240sx. I use NGK Iridiums for my KA-T. BKR-6EIX, which I'd also recommend for a high hp NA car (I think that was you *shrug*) because they're one step colder than stock.
