1980 F350 400 wiring problem
Just bought this truck to use for work. We were told it needed some push rods, but hadn't been touched in a few years. We get it home and start looking into it and the internals have all been repaired already. So we get a fresh battery and clean gas and turn it over....cranks but no start. Long story short, we've replaced the coil, starter, Duraspark ignition module, ignition switch, solenoid, fuel pump, fuel filter and have nice fat spark. I get the feeling that something is wrong in the wiring of the ignition system. Does anyone have an easy to read diagram of what wires go where between the battery, solenoid, coil, and starter? This thing is turning into an electrical nightmare!!!
1980 F-350 6.6 400 V-8 automatic and it looked like it had been stripped and put back together by a kindergarten class Any help is appreciated. Last edited by tim_jackie2001; 10-22-2016 at 07:00 PM. |

Thanks to all who looked. Found the problem was a bad ground and a bad connection on the coil +.
