New to page.Hoping can get help. I recently replaced fuel pump and fuel filter on my 1984 el camino but still having trouble starting. I turn the key and silence nothing happens. Its in my driveway. I have to roll the car down to make it level and after a bit it starts. Once on it runs good. 305 5.0
Any help appreciated.
A new fuel pump and filter for a vehicle that old is not a terribly bad idea, but it won’t fix silence from an engine that doesn’t even come close to trying to start.
If it starts at an angle like you claim it does, my guess is the wire going to the starter is probably just touching the terminals rather than being bolted on. That or it’s having a short against the firewall.
I would check your battery connections too, if theres any corrosion clean it, or cables which are damaged replace them man.
