Just brought home a 216 engine. It turns freely by hand. I hooked the
battery to the starter and it would not engage. Here is what I did. I
put jumper cables on the battery, hooked the negative end to the frame
of the engine and the other to the starter button. Nothing. I took the
button off and touched the hot end directly to the bump on the starter:
nothing. I want to crank the engine to make sure it runs good before I
put it in my truck. Any one know the correct way to crank an engine
over out of the truck?????
