uberkevin Posted February 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 The plug is right. Thanks man! I've never started a motor without water in it. On the stand seems even more sketchy. Hahah Really there's only a few wires it could even be if it doesnt start... 2 Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 You are so fucking paranoid about not having water in it... You are only going to see if it fires up on it's own,, not warm it up or anything .. You have an attached garage and running it for more than 15 seconds is probably going to kill you and your neighbors with carbon monoxide poisoning,, faster than your engine . Don't forget that i didn't put screw in the speedo gear when i put it in there.. 4 Quote Link to comment

wayno Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 I start engines all the time without water in them, but I don't normally run them for more than a couple minutes at idle or just above idle. I think it is Eric with the drag truck that filled his block water jacket with cement all the way to the top, he don't even have water in that block and he races quarter miles with it, but that is not a engine that drives down the hiway for hours and hours either. 3 Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 If really worried, why not put coolant (or at least distilled/demineralized water) and a looped hose? 2 Quote Link to comment

flatcat19 Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Just start the damned thing. If you did it wrong-it won't start. No harm. If you did it correctly-it will start. What the fuck are we waiting for? 1 Quote Link to comment
datson4life Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Did u end up going with that top radiator hose i mentioned? 1 Quote Link to comment
uberkevin Posted February 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 No spark.. but power going to the wire on the coil. Fuel pump works. Gas on floor from exhaust.. Hungry.. Girl is making food. 2 Quote Link to comment
uberkevin Posted February 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Moving a wire around. Disconnected Fuel pump.. 1 Quote Link to comment
uberkevin Posted February 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 No spark. Wish I had my old coil. Only have a old stock 521 coil. That will not work right? ... yes this is my old one but doesn't it have to be a coil for a internally regulated. 1 Quote Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 I had that issue, Kev, check the connections to the coil.....I had one come loose and that's what happened. 2 Quote Link to comment
uberkevin Posted February 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 There is only two wires on my coil. One that has power. And the other is the negative from my tech. So to me it would seem coil.. but it's new. Or. Something idk yet. 1 Quote Link to comment
uberkevin Posted February 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 I don't know why I thought I needed a 240sx coil.. But WTF did I do with the coil I had for my matchbox. Up there I said ir alt. But I ment matchbox. 1 Quote Link to comment
uberkevin Posted February 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 So this isn't what my coil looks like. http://m.ebay.com/itm/1990-Nissan-240Sx-Ignition-Coil-W-Bracket-Oem-S13-5-Spd-Fb-5244-/191496960422?nav=SEARCH Also don't have the clip on the coil. And this is what I don't have. 1 Quote Link to comment
uberkevin Posted February 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 And that is the power transistor.. I'm thinking I need to go to a junk yard and find a Ka-e in a hardbody and take its coil so that I have everything I need. Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Try running that wire that is supposed to be hot while cranking directly to battery B+ with a jumper wire in your hand just for the test. Don't remember which one but it was labeled in the instructions that way. Quote Link to comment
uberkevin Posted February 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 I did, I put both wires that were needed to go to the ignition switch on the same post that goes to my starter. Quote Link to comment
