starting engine outside of car help
Hey guys.
I want to start the engine soon to make sure it runs fine before putting it back in the car. I'm using a distributor and carburetor. I go by this little diagram I made to turn the engine over:
Do I have to get that pink distributor wire and just run the other end to the positive battery terminal to make it spark? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...657+&viewitem=
