I am running a 1976 Dodge 3/4 ton pickup, it has a 318 and a 4 speed tranny. Before I went into the school there was a kid i don't get along with so well attempting to powerbrake his truck, his attempts failed to spin even the one tire he usually does (this being on wet pavement), I moved my truck out of the spot i was in, started in second gear and layed on it. My truck instanly spun the tires (4.11 dana 60 with locker) so i pushed on the brakes, i sat there for about 10 seconds burning my tires. I went back to the spot and parked, I looked at all of the guages before I shut it down to go inside. Everything was looking normal.
When I went back outside I noticed between then and now was the gas guage, it was at half and now at empty, simple answer someone stole my gas, i filled it up to about a quarter of a tank.
I made another atempt to start it, it turns the motor but there is no start, it is cold outside but it usually isn't affected by the weather. My attempts failed, I cleaned the terminals to the battery, still nothing. Charged the battery, still nothing. It has fuel pressure, oil pressure, i'm not sure about spark it sputters though.
If anyone could be able to give me some posibilities of how to get this thing started would you please tell me some sugestions. It is about a 15 mile drive to school (30 round trip) and i need a few ideas before I make another trip out there.
P.S. I tried starter fluid also.
Thanks,
