Re: Alright ch'all i need help
check for the basics. timming, fuel , air, spark. i dont know is the 305 has different fuel maps so you might need to play with the computer for a bit.

Re: Alright ch'all i need help
that doesn't make sence. did you really just add water and and it started leaking oil? or did it crank over and then start leaking oil?
if its coming from the oil filter area could be a loose filter, or the oil pressure sending unit could be loose. that could also be why it wouldn't start ecm needs to to oil pressure to pulse the injectors, right? some one correct me if Im wrong

pull the pass side valve cover, than turn the crank until the line on the harmonic balancer is at 0' of the timing marker if the #1 rockers are loose than your at #1compression stroke than where the rotor is pointing is where #1 is at. and set your firing order

Re: Alright ch'all i need help
when you were cranking did you get any oil pressure? if its below 10psi( i think) the car wont let you start. and also check all the ectrical connections.
