Hello folks, its time to get some help, I've been working on getting my 360 buildup going and have hit a wall. Dropped it in my 82 FSJ last weekend. It's a AMC 360, .040 over, summit 8600 cam, crane roller rockers, MSD ingnition and disributor, edlebock preformer intake, timing chain, ceramic headers, 650 carb, port and polished intake, +.10 pushrods to correct value geometery.
1) I was not getting spark at the coil when I dropped it in last weekend.
2) had the MSD box and coil tested at High Pro, the box was bad.
3) got a new digital ignition from Summit, put it in this morning.
a) I now have very good spark at the coil.
b) checked the spark at all eight plugs and strong spark at all 8.
c) pulled the #1 plug, set before TDC and had wife crank it, compression pushed my finger out of the hole.
d) I am positive the timing gear was intalled correctly
e) I am postive the distributor is installed correctly
4) I have moved the distributor through about 40 degrees and still not catching
5) I have gas to carb, can hear it squirt when pump the accelerator
6) choke is a manual (adjusted using a bike cable, spring loaded to hold in open position, unless closed manually) I've tried throughout the range from fully closed to fully open
7) I rebuilt the carb and set everything to stock level, have made no adjustments yet.
This thing is turning and trying to start but it just will not catch and run. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
