I now have about a 27ga. wire in place now. I will go back and check for voltages. Should I will go and try to start the car now?

Somethings wrong.

27GA is too thin I think. It will burn immediately. But you should try just to turn on the ignition. It may survive the current peak.

This chart is something for you - http://www.powerstream.com/Wire_Size.htm

Ok! Now I have voltage at my injectors, heater blower is working and rear defroster is working. I still see no voltage at pin #1 pin has no voltage, #20 has 11.93v., #47 and #57 nothing. The 27 ga. held up fine.

Pretty sure I heard the fuel pump, but it still won't start.

I went out to the car and found out that I forgot to hook up the coil wire to the distributor cap. I tried it and it started right up. Right now it's idling pretty smooth. The 27ga. is still hanging in there!

Ok, now you have located the source of your trouble, now replace the defective fusible link with the correct fusible link and call it a day.  I would be extremely wary of shorts beyond the fusible link, because they don't typically fail without a significant fault.  The blow slower than a fuse or circuit breaker, so that would indicate to me that the cause is not a short term arc or transient short, but something long enough term that without the benefit of the fusible link, your wiring harness would melt and potentially cause a fire.

Good job. Don't forget to swap that fuse link to correct value to be sure you won't stall somewhere because of burnt under rated fuse link.

I can't believe, that it took so long time. They were asking you so many questions but nobody told you "Try this and this".

Pin number 1 should have constant power from battery. That's the only thing you should check, where is the problem.
Wait a second. What color is the wire connected to pin 20? It should be the orange wire connected to the ground. Are you sure with 12V there?

All the gauges are working. So, it looks like everything is working so far. I do have an exhaust leak on the passenger side. A small pipe that should mount about where the passenger's feet are. That's where both left and right side of the exhaust connect. I need to get that pipe back in where it belongs.

I think all I did was check if for ground. It is B/O color. No exhaust leak, just fluids burning of my exhaust.

The cars idles fine, but once I give it gas it stammers. That's what it was doing right before the fuse link blew. My guess is I need a new EEC. Does that sound right to you guy's?

5.0 engine and I put in a new MSG distributor about a month ago.

I went and moved the distributor over a tooth and I had to turn the distributor over a little so I don't know if it's really any different than before. It idled good and revved-up good until it warmed up. I have no idea where the timing is at, but I did notice that if I moved the distributor over it started sending smoke out my exhaust.

I am loosing my mind here seems like someone was not listening to good. As i predicted this trouble in the first post. Now someone actually gave you advice as i did many days ago.


My post #7



    If you blew a fuse link you have something grounding out. Try disconnecting and separating them and back feed the links.

BACK FEED THE LINKS WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am loosing my mind. D'OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
