Thanks guys. Ill keep you updated. And BTW I like it here better that zcar.com. You guys are much more helpful and nice to noobs like me.:classic:

Got it running finally. But it wont rev with the Air Flow meter hooked up. But im going to clean it tomorrow and see if that helps. Also, will the AFM from the turbo hook up to it? I checked local auto stores for a new one and they are like $400 but there is a parted out turbo one at a local Junkyard and i could get it cheap.

Hey guys, I'm trying to get my 78 Z running. I bought it from a guy who let it sit for a few years. He told me it ran when he parked and he had just recently tuned it up. Or so he says. Wires and distributor cap looked ok. Oil was fine. Spark plugs had black soot on ALL of them and the car would barely turn over. So fast forward a few weeks later and I have replaced fuel pump, FPR, plugs and rotor button today(looked like crap) Distributor seemed to be fine. Now the car turns over just fine but wont start. Just keeps turning and turning. I havent had a chance to get someone to turn it over while i check the spark so that is on my list for tomorrow. But after i checked one of the new plugs today, There was a little carbon on one of it and it smelled like gas. It is getting good gas through the fuel system now btw. SO here is my questions: 1. What would cause carbon to get on my plugs after turning it over a few times. 2. My MAF sensor is completely black inside. will that cause it not to crank and can i clean it up and make it good again with maf cleaner(not sure if its bad but looks like hell inside.) 3. If spark is good and maf is good, what the hell is going on?? I really want to get it on the road and before i worry with anything else i want it running. Sorry so long and thanks for any help.
