trouble starting new 406
Hey all, I'm having an issue trying to start my new 406. It has 10.6 compression, edelbrock aluminum e-tec heads, edelbrock performer RPM intake, street demon 770 carb, HEI. I have set the initial static timing at 12 degrees BTDC. I figure this was a good starting place due to the high compression. Anyways, the engine is really hard to start and when it does it only runs for 15-20 seconds. When it does run it sounds good, with no backfiring or roughness, so it makes me think that the timing is good enough. So I'm thinking it is a fuel issue, but I've checked the carb, and gas is going into the bowls. Any ideas?? I need to get this engine fired up so I can break in the cam. Thanks!!
