Car was running fine, but I needed to adjust the valves. I decided to use the firing order method to adjust the valves. To turn the motor over I used a remote starter switch. Disconnected the coil wire to prevent fire up and started adjusting valves one cylinder at a time.
Adjustment went fine meeting hot lash specs for the cam. No other adjustment was made to the car. Reassembled and tried to start car. Car turned over with no signs of ignition through many attempts. I pulled a plug wire and spark plug and grounded it to the engine compartment...no spark.
Thinking I did something to the coil (Petronix) I switched it out with my Mallory Pro Master. No change. Next, I figured I did something to the electronic distributor (Mallory Unilite), and switched it out with another I had in the garage. No change. I will go through Mallory's trouble checklist next, but I was hoping someone would know what I screwed up this time.
