I have a 1995 5S motor that I put in a 1996 GT convert. Everything is hooked up but engine is not turning over. Its getting fuel but seems like its not getting spark. I noticed the 95 motor has a different distributor than the 96. The 96 has a 5th wire that connects a coil module located on the firewall but the 95 motor does not have a 5th wire. Not sure if that makes a difference.
1995:  1996:  Thoughts? What could I have missed? http://s922.photobucket.com/user/docspeed1...rt=6&page=0 |

Have you checked for spark? Pull the plug boot and stick an spark plug in it then put it close to something metal like the valve cover. Have someone crank the engine and see if it sparks (or take a video like I do when I'm working alone). If you don't see spark, pull the ignition lead from the ignition coil and see if that sparks. If you don't have spark at all, I'd start checking grounds and timing. IIRC the car won't spark if the timing is off more than a tooth.
