My '85 won't crank. When I turn the key to the start position, I hear the fuel pump (and smell gas), but there's no cranking whatsoever. I hooked up the battery to a jump-start box, but that made no difference. The volts at the both of two thick cables on the firewall are 12.4V when the key is off,...

Thank you both very much. The brake fluid was last changed in 2012. The car has had very few miles since 2012 (sadly), but I assume the brake fluid should be replaced anyway.

I disconnected a spark plug wire (no. 4) and inserted a spare plug into the lead. I cranked the car and saw no spark. Also, while ...
