Ok, so I finally had time to actually inspect my new aquisition the other day. Since my DL over here is still revoked I took the fully charged battery from my Tbird and was going to pull the fuel pump fuse on the Z-28 and listen to the stereo while pulling the intake and heads to see if the top end is ok since its got a rod thrown or something. So I connect the batt. and no power to anything at all. Most of the wires on the eng. were already disconnected but I did also connect those two wires from the battery to a post with all those fusible links on it. Could my problem just be the Grounding strap to the engine?
I was going to check that but once I had it jacked up I just got frustrated. While looking around underneath for the Ground I found out that I probably have a blown tranny too, all the bolts were hand tight and some missing + no drive shaft
