my freaken car still does not start

ok i know i have posted before bout my car not starting but i have no clue what it is?
ok engine does turn but it will not start after a few tries the turning over gets smaller and smaller then no turning over.

at first it was i had no connection to my key to the starter, made a few adjustmens. and boom car started, then after a test drive car kept turning off so put it in nuetral and started it again, then finally (lucklel) as i pulled into my street car died and it would not start again. now is just in my garage, thought it might be the alternator but that is good.


i am getting a 350 soon but the guy (family friend) has family issues so not sure when i am getting it but i want my car running even if it is with the 305

thanks for any help

Fuel? Spark? Compression? That's all it takes, which one(s) is missing?

Re: my freaken car still does not start

Have you tested your battery? Is it holding a charge? You stated it turns over very slowly? I would try and check the battery first. Take it somewhere and have them do a full charge on it if the test shows it is still good. You would be amazed what a difference a good battery will do for performance. If it turns out not to be the battery then I would suspect a fuel pump problem. Could be you just were able to make it home in the "Limp Home Mode". Check the battery first and repost on your findings.
