1979 van with 360 won't start. Help anyone?
Its a 79 B300 (Sportsman) van front attached to a motor home. It has a 360
V8. The problem began as: The vehicle would not go above 20 MPH and lacked power but was not backfiring or missing. After a couple of miles like this it quit and would not start at all. It cranks but I don't hear any firing at all. I poured gas in the carb but that made no difference. I checked the spark and it goes about 1/2 inch long but it is orange (not blue). Is that right? If I have spark and gas why won't it start? If it is my timing chain, how could I easily check this? |
