Hey guys as some of you know Ive been wanting to install the ARP headstuds... well, it happen I got them installed but now I ran into a different problem I cant get eletric current threw the distributer cap plug thingy. [dont know what it is called but it has a male and female connection.] It rungs from the cap and over the cam gears and under the intake manifold. I have tested the MSD thing that battleground installed and that gets current however my spark plugs wont light up. The timing is right everything is pluged right and IDK what else it could be.

That always works for me...it's just like a 9v battery.

I used a tool that is used to check such things I dont know what's its called but you have to ground the tool that is linked up a device that lights up when you touch the power source.

just the headstuds..

When you took the head off your car to install the studs, did you pull any sensors off that may not have gotten re-connected? Check everything in and around your head (sensor and wire-wise). Are you sure your distributor wire is good? And what about the button inside the distributor?

Sounds like something didn't get connected, what did you find after double checking?
