Bollocks!

Finally got the square running. I had swapped the intake and carb on the old 305, and couldn't get it to start. Had to be timing, right? Wrong. After days of head-scratching, checking/re-checking plug wires, setting TDC and getting the distributor dead on, still no vroom. Turns out, starter was wasted and couldnt turn motor fast enough to start the truck. Swapped starter, ran like a champ. Set timing, drove it around for a while, perfect. Next day I fire it up and drive it somewhere 5 minutes away. Go inside, come out after an hour.....cranking, but wont fire. Now I killed the battery cranking it. The old starter I took off looked pretty new, too. W.....T.....F?????????
