OK, got the starter in but trouble starting the car. Cranked fine and you could see fuel coming from the venturis and the squirters. It fired up once or twice but I couldn't keep it running. When it did fire up, you could see fuel and air going straight down from the primary venturis....never really seen that before. Looked like a tornado headed straight down to the butterflies. Now that I've tried several more times, the starter no longer wants to catch the (highly challenged) teeth on the flywheel. Timing is OK, checked and never touched. Rotor and cap look OK to me and to a semi-professional guy who's doing some body work on another car for me. Got spark that i can verify. Bowl levels set with e-pump on. argggh. thanx steve
