[Chevelle-list] I've replaced just about everything and....

[Tom Rightler]

The starter drive is bad.  Remove the starter and replace the drive.  It takes 10 minutes and the part cost less than $10,

  It looks like all of the ignition parts have been changed. Are we sure this is a spark problem? I would check to make sure it is getting fuel to the carb. Maybe replace the fuel pump.

  No its not the starter....Its an ignition/electrical issue. The starter works properly.

  If I understand you what you are saying is that when you try to start the engine the starter spins but the engine will not turn over.

   

  If this is your problem then you need the check the starter. Either replace the starter drive inside the starter or replace the starter as an assembly.

   

  Hope this helps.

    Ok here is the latest problem. First let me say that i have replaced the distributor cap, rotor, wires, plugs, ignition module, ignition switch, and coil, all twice. The issue is that when I drive the car, as long as the car is hot, it starts up just fine. However, when I allow the car to sit and cool off for several hours or overnight, the car spins but will not crank. After trying to crank it a few times, if i let it sit for another several hours, it will fire right up. Then it cranks fine for a few days then it starts all over again. I don't know what else to replace. I was just told yesterday that it may be the "pick-up coil" in the actual distributor. Driving me crazy. Any thoughts?
