Subject:Ignition Problem
From:Eric Unrau

Yesterday I changed the oil in my �89 Westy and replaced the well worn
belts.  Now it will not start.  It cranks, but there is no evidence of
ignition.  In the process of replacing the belts, I pulled the
distributor wires off of the cap to get at the AC compressor mounting
bolts.  This is the only thing I did that should affect the ignition.
I�ve checked and re-checked the wire connections and order, but still no
ignition.  Any suggestions?

Haven�t gone as far as checking the plugs for spark yet, need to wait
until my helper gets home.  Any way to do this on my own?
