Thanks, BigB. She'll go. I can feel it. I would love to think it's fuel delivery. I use ethanol free hi test almost exclusively and I couldn't see a spec of dirt in the bottom of the tank. When I get another few minutes, I'll unhook the filter and turn it over, If fuel comes through it, I can X that out, correct? ... or move on to the injectors...
When I get the filter out I'll cut it open for science.
When I say the spark plugs are dry, I meant they're dry with expended fuel dust. Fuel is getting there, but she's not turning over more than once or twice. I put oil in the spark plug inlets and it smoked. It burns fuel, but maybe not enough... Sorry if I'm not the best at describing this. Really appreciate all the input.
All that said, that slapping/whacking noise coming from around the alternator is new and not at all normal. Sounds like something has broken from where I stand. Laitch, you said you can't hear it? It's right at the beginning and the end. Pretty distinct.
