My dad is a cars guy, and he has never encountered a block heater he cannot hear, there is no sound and he cant tell if its actually working? it started fine when it was plugged in. im just wondering if this is normal to not be able to hear it working? my friend has the same car, same year and all, and he cannot hear his either?

First, I am strongly against dyno testing on anything but a protype motor, unless you intend to tear it down after testing and check everything over. You should not be running more than 8 to 1 compression, especially on gasoline (too unstable... Id rather work with nitromethane) carbureted or injected?. If your distributor (by the way, what type?) takes its power from the same source as the starter, it's possible that cranking is pulling too much voatage from the ignition (why I used to use a vertex magneto on my racemobiles). (what kind of starter) If your battery is in the trunk,and it should be, use "00" welding cables to run power to starter. attach ground either to one of the starter bolts, or close to the starter on a bellhousing bolt.Use the largest battery you can find.(in cca's) In my opinion, you should be using a good set of silicone/steel ign wires (unless it's a doorslammer and you like listening to the radio)Re-set the static timing to about 8degrees to begin with, and it should start.Unless there is an ign problem (internal) You really didn't post enough to work with but try what I said, it's a good place to start!
Good luck, keep me posted! Whats next a 1471???

That's normal -- it's the transmission locking up in park.

it could be an Air/Fuel flow problem
Check both air and fuel filters and pipes for any leaks or clogs.

It sounds like the coolant system is low.Possible coolant leak and /or headgaskets.
