Re: still no go..help
Sounds like an issue with the timing. I am not good at setting this myself so I cant give you good advice on how to do that. I have a mechanic friend who does that for me.

Re: still no go..help
Could have water in the fuel.
Just a thought.

Re: still no go..help
I'd ditch the points distributor and go with an HEI.

I second that. HEI's are so much easier to deal with. |

Re: still no go..help
I would check the timing, seems like the timing might be too advanced.

Re: still no go..help
Are all of the wires routed to the correct plugs? If they are, my guess is the timing is too far advanced.

Re: still no go..help
it has to be advanced..my dads friend came over and put the points in and advanced timing a little because when it cranked it was little delayed.. ill move it back.. i tried starting it little bit ago press gas once and it shoots gas out the carb... i guess i flooded it too haha
