You did properly ground the ignition ground # 6 in fig 13 ? Good tight ground to clean bare metal?
if that was an original V8 truck with the stock ignition switch I'm thinking that the switch doesn't power to the coil (ignition) when you crank the engine depending on the resistor bypass to provide power to the coil. Meaning that you may not have power to The "red wire" for the igniton or even to turn the Ecm on when it is cranking.
Take a test light or volt meter and connect it to the red wire and have someone crank the engine and see if you have power when you are cranking. The red wire being #4 in fig 13. |
Good grounds are crucial... the frame was powder coated so that's a real possibility for the issue. The 57 is a V8 truck but has a frame off rebuild now with the addition of the 5.3L power plant, so it's all new.
