lolllll, put the carpet back in ahhaha.

check your timing. make sure your distributor cap is good. thats what happened to a friends corvette stingray. ummmm you could have problems with your fuses also. idk just look around

basically the same thing happened to me, just replace the Dizzy cap, or at least take it off see how the connections are.

put the carpet back in lol.yeah i cleaned the distrubuter cap and plugs.i replced fuel filter.im thinking its a fuel relay but im not sure where it even is

RE: turning over not starting
 

is it actually getting fuel? may be the pump

RE: turning over not starting
 

its really called the main relay to find it get under your dash on the drivers side its above the hood release its a grey or black plastic box with one 10 mm bolt and a plug with wires. but i would check everything first cause the main relay will run you about $85.

Out of gas? bad fuel floater?

When your turn your key on, do you hear the fuel pump prime for two seconds?
