Re: Car won't start:(

["Gary H." <62to65mopar@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

chain test: 
"First, you should be familiar with the ruh-ruh-ruh sound your car makes during cranking. If it's suddenly replaced by whirrrrrr, there's no compression, call the hook. For confirmation, crank the engine with the distributor cap off. If the rotor doesn't turn, you be in deep doo-doo, Vern (probably bent valves, etc.) If it rotates, tap the key (or better yet, use your screwdriver or clip lead for under the hood) until the vibration dampener timing mark is at about 10 degrees before TDC. At this point, the rotor should either be facing in the general vicinity of the #1 plug wire, or 180 degrees away (i.e., opposite.) If it's pretty far off, you're dead meat." - Ehrenberg
