car won't start

[theman440]

Distributor installed 180 degrees out?

There is absolutely no firing at all. Could be the spark plug reach, also he has a little back flow through the carb during cranking.

Had a carb fire yet while cranking?

I put the longer plugs in, sounds a little better can hear a couple little pops here and there but still lethargic. I adjusted the rockers (first time 1/4 turn) this time just took slack out and tightened the adjustor (thought being the valves were hanging up). No go, its a fresh battery as well. Its now being suggested I go 1/2 turn after I take the slack out.

not sure gents...going to try the latter tomorrow


Watch towards the end, gas is spraying the motor and fresh paint.

Got all your grounds in place?
Friend stuck grape fruits in header collector ?
Top dead center #1 valves are closed ?
a major vacuum leak? At carb possible ?
Do a compression check on a couple

I think you might have a valve timing issue. It appeared the back blow is with every cylinder. Try to find exact TDC and pull a valve cover to see where the rockers are. Do you think the back blowing is from ignition or compression?

Andy, potatoes work much better, big potatoes.

Got all your grounds in place? Battery Grounded to head via -Cable , perhaps this alone isn't a good enough ground I should perhaps ground to frame as well?

Friend stuck grape fruits in header collector ? Most of my friends are Irish, we deal our pranks out in Potatoes,which none were observed wedged in collector

Top dead center #1 valves are closed ? TDC then 20 Degrees to set rotor to point to #1

a major vacuum leak? At carb possible ?checked, new gaskets and ports are plugged, unless its internal


Do a compression check on a couple Good Idea!

Not certain, I wonder since I soaked the lifters in oil for about a week if I don't have them empty enough and its throwing off my adjustment

Did you bleed the air from the lifters after soaking them? Air bubbles can remain if you don't. Just a thought...
