problem starting her. she cranks fine but there either is no fuel or spark. i sprayed some wd-40 into the chamber while it was cranking but no luck. im guessing that would mean lack of spark? what can i do? what should i look at? it has fairly new spark plugs and wires too so i doubt they are worn out. any repair manuals out there for me to look at? i know haynes has a 3.8l v6 231 manual but im afraid its not for my year.

please help.

thanks!

Im not sure if you have found the fuel filter but I also have a 1977 olds omega 3.8 butmine is an autoanyway if you are facing the front of the car and look under it. Look close to your front driver side tire it should be right in that area. It is in a small clear tube shouldnt be hard to miss.
