Cool.

So the plot thickens

I took the battery out of the other truck and put it in to try to start.
After the 4th attempt of the truck not starting. I pulled a plug to see if it was wet. While i had the plug out, I figured I would check for spark. I got a yellow spark. Replaced the plug & I went to check the fuses..
(unknowingly the ignition was still in position 2) i pulled the key, fuel & blower fuses just to check for corrosion. Placed them back in ask my friend to turn the key

All i get is a click and the fan making 1/4 turns..
I got under the car to listen to the starter and the click seems to be coming from somewhere else.

Yeah! I'm stumped too. I hope I didn't trigger a relay to fail

Check the ground on the neg. cable on the battery. And maybe go buy a coil and condenser. Rover grade costs a bunch , but I got mine at Checker's for $30ish and I've put 30,000 miles on it.

Thanks alot!
Checked the ground and pry'd the terminal open to go to the bottom of the battery post. You were right..
Im Back to pre-conditions.
Still won't turn over.
Fuel in rail
Yellow spark from plug

And on 1st attempt if feels like its gonna start but I don't wanna press the gas..

Ima let her sit for a few hours and come back.
The coil I'll get in the morning.

Did you manage to sort this out?

What the **** is a Quart? How many litres did you put in? Did you check oil level when hot or cold? Did your oil light come on at any point?

Quite right , what the **** is a quart, in English ??

Evening, apologies for the lapse of time; unforeseen events demanded my attention elsewhere.

So, to pick up where I left off.

Had the coil, distrib, batt & alternator all checked out.
Everything came back fine.
Local shop has a test book- codes came up as 'power train' failure, with sub links advising to check the inertia switch & fuel pump for intermediate activity.

Long story short.
The fuel pump was at its end and sending signals to stop fuel delivery as if I had an accident.

Pump & filter replaced... I'm back on the road!

I'm glad that you've nailed it down, and thanks for the update. I hope that it keeps chugging.

No, Thank you guys!
