I got it to run! (Second attempt on another day)
So my first attempt failed, I had spark, compression, and fuel (checked using starter fluid), but no boom.
I proceeded to disassemble the throttle body and reattach it and this time I added the ground clip to it (whoops). Also added another sensor that attaches to the throttle body, think it’s the idle controller or something.
So my first attempt failed with the tachometer jumping all over the place like it was crazy, all the way to max and back.
However, now when cranking and running, after having attached the ground clips, I get no reading on the tachometer.
I think my failure to start the first time, maybe had to do with intermittent spark since the distributor did not have the ground clip and therefore had a loose ground to the chassis. That would explain the tachometer jumping about.
