Well then, i wired up the wideband, finished wiring up the last fan, topped off the coolant and prined the oil pump one last time for 2 minutes. Plopped the distributor down in the hole, properly indexed, and got no fire........
..............
Unfortunately it was snowing today/tonight, and it started to get pitch black when I attempted to start so I couldn't really get into trouble shooting it.
I have election day off, so when I do my civic duty, I'll come home and get into troubleshooting. I need to get a fuel pressure gauge since someone snagged the one I had, just need to make sure I got fuel pressure, I will check for spark somehow, I'm on my own so it makes it a bit more difficult. I haven't checked compression yet, but that ought to be pretty damn good at this point.
One thing that comes to mind since Ive read into this bs, is that another individual had painted their block too, and had no start issues, turned out paint on the block prevented a good ground, though i plugged the hole for the oil dipstick tube bolt hole, i wonder if there is enough paint around it to prevent good contact. The thing about that though is that my gauges at the dash work, all of them, and I had them go out due to broken ground wires for that bolt..... who knows, hopefully its something dumb like this though.....
