[SOLVED] No start after replacing Valve cover Gasket

Classic overthinking.

Relax, reassemble and take care to ensure everything is reinstalled.

Sounds like a vacuum leak or ground to me.

 

It happens to all of us don`t feel stupid.

The important thing is you figured it out!!

 

most of the time itll be something small over looked. Sometimes you just gotta throw in the towel that day and go back at it the following day. Glad you figured it out

 

Yay! Thanks for not ghosting us.

 

Glad you found it I was certain it was a wiring mishap it happens to the best of us.
Yes thanks for the follow up this will most likely help someone searching in the future.

 

I figured it out!
Really stupid, but two of the wires going to the coils were flipped…

 

When learning to work on engines, there really isn't anything stupid. They're called mistakes. I worked on Ford, GM, and Pontiac V8 engines from the 60's and 70's for quite a few years. I've got 3 complete engine rebuilds under my belt, and all of these motors had distributers and points, which themselves can add a level of pain in the ass to work with. Everything you do is a learning experience, and mistakes are going to be made. Figuring them out and taking you time is what counts. I couldn't tell you how many times I said "Fuck it" and walked away only to come back the next day and think of something to check I hadn't thought of before. Having a couple of spark plug wires in the wrong place is a simple mistake than many of us have made. Glad you figured it out. How's the truck running now.
