Truck wont start?
ok so i have a 97 chevy Z71 with a SB 350 5.7 vortec. i tore it down, and replaced my lifters, push rods, and rockers, all my gaskets, and i took my heads in and had the done at the machine shop. well i got everything back together, hooked everything up but now it wont start, its like my battery isnt hooked up. now im guessing its my ground wires but i dont know, can anyone help?

Got a volt meter, or test light? Check from battery + to good engine ground. Might just be the ground cable to frame dirty, paint, or not hooked up. My old car has a bonding strap on the motor mounts for a better frame ground.

Ind the ground termonal from battery. add a large guage wire, at least a 10 to a clean metal place to bolt it on the engie itself. If it is a ground, that should clear it.
