Im new to this site and i've found lots of great info here.
Anyways i recently purchase a 1978 W200 (360/727/np205) but i havent been able to get any fire at the plugs. the key wont turn it over so i have been touching the brown wire coming from the starter to the stud on the relay. the cap, rotor, and pickup coil are clean and the ignition coil looks fairly new. to eliminate the possibility of a bad coil i put the one off of my 76 w100 on it, still nothin. i took the fusable links out, nothin.
the wiring is a little butchered but the only thing i have to check it with is a '75 service manual. some of the original wiring at the 4 plugs on the firewall doesnt match up with the manual but i thought it might be the difference in years. everything else seems ok. me and my friends dad have been trying to figure it out for a week and we're stuck. anybodys help would be greatly appreciated.
