ZC Installed! Tried to Start, Firing in the Third Cylinder Only
Tonight we started around 7PM with a big hole where the engine should be, in the last 5 hours we installed the engine and then went through and installed each of it's systems. When it came time to start it I let the fuel pump go three times, then I turned the key, nothing. About a minute later I realized I didnt push down the clutch
, haven't driven the stick in a while. After I pushed it down and tried starting it the starter kicked on and the engine tried starting. Sat and did that for about two minutes, then switched the two dizzy wires we supsected were wrong (White/Red and White). After doing this the car attempt to start and fire every couple times, the header started smoking from the oil spilled on it and after touching it we realized three of the header pipes were ice cold and the third was hot. We checked and only the third is getting spark. I'm suspecting bad dizzy wiring or a bad dizzy all together. I'm going to re-pin it tomorrow and try again. Any guesses?

I would check the order of your plug wires. If one of the plugs is getting spark the only reason the other would not would be incorrect order.
i agree with wronghand...check the spark plug firing order. 1-3-4-2 with the #1 wire going to the terminal that has a c in a circle...
