Calling all mechanics-My 428 won't start
I have a 428 CJ freshly built and it won't hardly turn over, feels as though the battery is low or my timing is way off. With my torque wrench I can turn my engine over (it takes about 45 pounds of torque. Battery terminals are clean.
This may be long but I want everyone to know the history so far on this engine.
I have a 428 CJ medium riser, Bored .030 over with a mild street cam w/ new 9.5 : 1 pistons. Internally balanced by a professional machine shop. New MSD 6AL Ignition box w/ MSD FE Dist., Taylor 8mm wires and new blaster 2 coil, New Holly 750 carb, new Edelbrock water pump...10w 40 Quaker State and I hooked up my drill to my oil pump and pre-oiled everything before attempting to start.
Saturday I went and bought a new 1090 amp Motorcraft Battery and hooked everything up and still it acts as though my battery is to low to turn the engine over. Re-checked my timing to make sure I wasn't 180 degrees off. Decided my new mini hi torque starter may be bad so I went to NAPA and bought there best FE starter. No change. It acts as though I am loosing AMPS between my battery and my solinoid or starter. I don't have an amp meter to test this part of my problem-yet.
What am I missing?
