Hello. Im having some issues firing up my engine.
Let me start with whats been done this winter:
New heads, camshaft, roller rockers, new carburetor, intake etc.
I know Im running between 6-7 psi fuel pressure.
Since the rebuild Ive driven about 3-400 miles without problems.
Last week I installed an supercharger and doublechecked all my valves and retightened them.
I put in the distributor again, and tried to crank the engine. I managed to get it started aftet twisting the distributor some. It ran for about 3-4 seconds and the blew a big white smokey sky out the carburetor. I tried both retarding and advancig the distributor, but never getting it to run for more than a few seconds feeling the throttle out.
When I installed the distributor I manually cranked the engine bit by bit til I felt my finger blow out of the number #1 cylinder. The compression stroke.
I stopped cranking the engine about 2 degrees after TDC. Then I installed the distributor so that the Pin in it would hit the cable for the #1 cylinder next. This is where I think I ****ed up. Should it maybe hit the #8 cylinder next when I have passed TDC on cylinder #1 compression stroke?
And, IF i did that, would the engine actually run on its own for a few seconds before backfiring?
I appreciate the help. And yes, the cables are installed in the correct order.
And it should be getting plenty of fuel. When I parked the car before I put the charger on, I had smoked pistons, showing that the mixture was way to fat.
