I had posted that my car wouldn't start. It ended up being the alarm. While fixing my window regulator a month ago, I had accidently knocked off a connection for the alarm. The ticking coming from my dashboard was the alarm relay and it shut the car down - no sparks and no fuel.
I had tried everything to figure out the problem and finally decided to look in to the annoying ticking. Found the source of the ticking, and voila. I went to some forums and someone had posted that a body shop while painting had knocked loose a connection in the door causing the alarm to set. It sounded like my problem. In the meantime, I have a new distributor cap, rotar, dme relay, air filter and fuel pump flasher so car is running better than ever. (Thank goodness I didn't buy a fuel pump.)
I am going to look into doing some more projects such as new tires, valve adjustments, fix some chips, etc. Thanks again, Rice
