Not Ranked
Engine runs for 2 or 3 seconds but then
stops. This is a new build (seasoned 302 block- 331 stroker, MSD 6AL ignition, AFR 185 heads, 4 barrel Holly carb). The gas pressure at the carb is 7 psi. Does it sound like the carb is not getting enough gas once the engine is running? I guess my timing is good enough since the engine is starting. I pump the pedal 3 times then hold the pedal half way down and turn the key. It'll run for 2 or 3 seconds then die... I tried putting the pedal all the way down and then starting it but that didn't help.. I think I've found the best location for the distributor through trail and error. The best result is the 2 to 3 seconds of engine run time. The initial distributor installation was done after putting the engine at TDC for No. 1 cyclinder. Then positioning the rotor to point at the No. 1 spark plug wire at the rotor cap. Any tips?? Thanks.
