    wont start after swap

    Ok I did the swap got the new engine in filled the fuilds all hoses and wires connected. The car turns over and cranks but will not start I checked it for a spark it has a spark. I can hear the fuel pump and smell the gas so I know all that's good. The timing is perfect I set it before I put the engine in and made sure it was perfect. The distributor is right I double and tripled checked it with the haynes book and old pic. The only thing I can think of is grounds I know all of them but the transmission are good can someone put up a pic of the transmission ground? If anyone has any other ideas I'm open to suggestions.


    F.Y.I it is a f22a1

      Ya the thermostat ground is good the only ground I don't know about is the transmission cause I'm not sure of where it goes. I've got it hooked up to a bracket I'm just not sure its right.

          Ya the firing order is correct however that just reminded me that my buddy was playing with the distributor spinning around so ima check the firing pin inside and set it back to tdc and set the distributor to #1 and see what happens

            It was the the rotor button not facing sparkplug number 1. I reset it and it fired right up
