My 70 Skylark is stored in a garage and driven maybe once a month, but never very far. I have a 455 motor with electronic ignition from a 75 Electra. Today I went to go and start it but it wouldn't start. Engine cranks but it wouldn't start. I drove it last night and noticed that it took a minute for it to start. I smell gas so I know its getting that but I was wondering if distributors, modules, rotor buttons, etc go bad from sitting for long periods of time??? Should I go and replace these parts in hopes of getting it started?? Any help or incite would be appreciated
Probably the module. You need fuel, spark, compression and timing. Try to eliminate the culprit one at a time. My money is on spark.
Put inductive timing light on any spark plug wire and crank and look for flashing light. No flashy lights, no sparky! I agree with Clark, module.
