aight ill make sure to get that picture up

quick question tho.
5.9l 1996 ram, motor is turning over real good, wont fire...
checked/tested plug wires, coil, brand new battery, fuel pump is fine, fuel gets to the rail, all connections are connected, ign. rotor/cap good, plug gap is good..
the only thing is i dnt think im gettin spark, that leaves me coil harness, and grounds.. anything im forgettin?? maybe a sensor??

I wouldn't have bought a retarded cam. That just sounds bad from the start








Is your timing right? I had the same problem when I tried firing up mine after the rebuild
