Full battery barely any crank
Hey thirdgen, so I tried to fire her up today (hasn't started in 10+ years) she seems to want to start but I can't get the car to turn over long enough before I hear the solenoid and it stops turning ! So am I nor getting enough power to the starter? I replaced the starter a week ago and just had the battery tested it Says it all good, what should I look for? i have 12-13 volts going to the solenoid, I'm pulling my hair out because I feel I'm so close to starting this beast !

You guys were right ! Now I have full crank but it seems as though the timings off, it won't start but fires a couple cylinders. Any tips with the timing ?

Check to make sure the firing order is correct. If it is, rotate the ditributor slightly each direction until the engine starts...
