Re: Misc. Questions on new 1963 Pick up. Engine/Trans.

On a HEI distributor there are 2 connections aside from the small harness on the distributor. There is one terminal marked BAT and the other TACH. The BAT terminal should be connected to a switched 12V source inside the cab. It must have a full 12 volts. The TACH of course should be wired to your tach, assuming you have one. I do not know if your distributor is getting a full switched 12 volts from the terminal on the starter. If you clean the timing tab off, you should be able to see the numbers corresponding to the marks....2,4,6 etc. Did you try advancing the timing more that where you started with it? Did you try pouring a little gas down the carb?
