Hi everyone, first post. My name is Thomas and im very new to classic cars. I usually work on newer fuel injected cars(audi s4, mustang gt, parents cars). I bought a 1967 cutlass supreme from the original owner this week, been sitting in a garage for 20 years, 55k original miles, interior is great shape, has some big dents which is why it was parked(so I was told by the little old lady haha).
Anyways I start working on it. Did the Marvels Mystery oil in all the cylinders for 24 hours then new spark plugs, new oil, battery and battery cables. When putting the cables on I accidentally switched them for half a second, some smoke did come from a few wires(big mistake but it happened). I dropped the gas tank(has a rust hole) and cleared the lines
I go to start it and it keeps turning over but not firing(only using starter fluid, gas tank not connected). I check for spark and nothing. I change out the coil, wires, distributor cap and rotor since I was going to do that anyways. still nothing. Any ideas or helpful hints?
ALSO what does that button on the floor by your left foot do inside the car?
