Check the splice in the wiring harness just forward of the underhood fuse box. There will be three wires going to the relays-wite/red, IIRC. This splice corrodes and fails causing no spark, no fuel, and if you wire around it, no a/c.

it cranks over... no spark, no fuel, or i should say no power getting to them, i reslpliced the harness, checked all fuses and all relays but not the computer, luckily i have a spare 1 but have to travel to get it, time for a hitchike tomorrow i guess, gotta get it fixed. gotta get back and forth to work next week, i just put a new pump and filter in the tank,new plugs, air filter, wires, rotor button and dist. cap, at this point it could only be a few things

Only thing I can think of is to check all ground
wires.
Engine to frame, frame to body, body to battery.
You lucked out, Most times when you lose spark and
fuel its the wires splice behind the fuse/relay box.

Would have nothing to do with it having no fuel.

Ive been pondering the Harland Sharp 1.7 roller rockers for a while now, So has anyone here done them themselves and if so, any tricks to putting them in, cause to me it looks pretty straight forward and how much better does the truck run now? I hear the idle is smoother and you get more power, is it worth the cost?
