I trust you and it looked a lot closer in the pics

Here's a little better perspective of the fuel line routing



Since the parts house website said they opened at 8 this morning and the sign on the door said 9 I headed back and built this starter heat shield.



Back to the parts house we go! Rev's not complaining as it's another RIDE!

Couldn't get her to light..............

Best I could get was it to light and blubber while pumping the throttle. Not sure if it's cam timing/ignition/fueling at this point.

It had 7 psi fuel pressure and 40 psi oil pressure. Checked, double and triple checked plug wire routing. I referenced the distributor position as recieved from the shop. Tried lighting it +/- 3/8" advanced and retarded.

Flying the white flag for the rest of the evening

I'll trouble shoot with the shop tomorrow.............better safe than sorry.

Just to satisfy 45% of us, pop that distributor cap off, pull number 1 plug out and give it a finger poof test. Only takes a min.

Might take a bit for the fuel to atomize down there.

Get some sleep.

Checking for compression, fuel, firing order? Haven't done a finger poof test on a car anyway.

Haa really? It's always funny seeing someone do the poof test for the first time.
Disable the coil and check for poof while watching the rotor spin. Verify TDC. What about submarine races? Ever been?

Really! I did check the rotor position against the timing mark it was close.





Did the finger test, it's building compression with the rotor heading to #1. Have to admit I did pull out prematurely when it tried to suck my thumb in.

You only have 2-3 DEGREES INITAL ADVANCE? Try putting some more timing in it and fire it up

I have never heard it called The POOF test That's funny

1 8 4 3 6 5 7 2

Have you verified you are indeed getting spark?

Sounds like you may be retarded. Wait! That didn't come out right. It sounds like the timing is retarded. If it's too advanced it'll back fire through the carb. Burbling seems to be a delayed fire. Also, don't follow the added marks on the distributor base unless you've verified it is indeed lined up with the number 1 electrode on the cap.

beat me to it. That's what I get for being a slow typer.
