Q: No spark
first i had oil in the plug holes i ran it until it quit i thought that was the problem but after cleaning all the oil and changing all gaskets needed it wouldn't start so i checked the spark and there was none so i changed the wires and spark plugs that didn't work so i changed the distributor and that work then after driving for awhile i turned it of and on no problem so i drove it for awhile say about 50 miles then shut it off at a friends house and when i went to start it it wouldn't start i kept trying and then only the back 3 were firing then none at all and i checked everything and i can't figure it out i took it all apart and everything was brand new and looked good but still nothing and it has gas and no spark
