car won't start

[John R. Mustang]

I have take that bar off many mustangs with no problems. I think it is just for structural rigidity not electrical grounding. I just rebuilt my engine and couldn't get it to start. Turns out that the plugs were fouled from previous attempts at starting so I put in new plugs and held the gas pedal to the floor. Fired right up! You might give this a try if you have checked timing, firing order, and everything else.
