If you have just assembled the engine and it is now the first time you are
starting, some will give you advice you would never think of.
One kind of curious about the history that lead to your replacing all those.
What was happening before?

hI All- I just replaced my plug  wires,coil wire,distributor cap,and
rotor-now the engine won't crank over for more than 3 seconds.yes,I did (I
think) right wiring,1-4-3-2 firing order,rotor turning clock-wise,#1  being
at the notch in the ditributor...did I do something reallly dumb,or did my
starter just decide to suicide out of jealousy?-batterey is fully
charged,connections are clean,tight, the battery shop says battery is just
fine any opinions?  Mike
