getting my 235 started
ive been working on my 49 lately and have been trying to get the motor running but it turns over slow and doesnt want to start. it is a 235 from a 55 chevy that came in it when i got it. the PO said they drove it to where they parked it and it sat since 1989. So far i have new battery, battery cables, starter, coil, condenser, points, rotor, cap, plug wires and plugs. i have good compression. when there are no plugs in the block the motor turns over fast and easy, but once i put the plugs in the motor gets sluggish and seems like it fights to turn over. not sure what else to do for work on the motor to try and get it started. What do you guys suggest?
