    Not sure but I think it did because he said it was running and then it would not start one day and that it had an ignition problem. When I got it had no spark so I tracked that down and now I'm at this point.

    Would it make sense to pull the passenger valve cover and verify TDC that way? I'm still confused on why the plugs I pulled on the driver's side were dry. Shouldn't they be getting fuel as I'm cranking?


    Thanks to everyone for all the help and I'm enjoying troubleshooting the issues.
