i spent the better part of yesterday running the wires for my engine/battery.
here is the problem: the engine turns freely, sounds almost like it is about to kick over, then fuel bubbles up from the carb and it won't start. i did get it to turn over only once for about three seconds before it died.
here is what i have done: i have relocated the battery to the trunk and run two wires to the front to achieve a good ground as well as hot connection. i have bypassed the neutral safety switch and double checked all of my wiring according to the schematics diagram. i am getting good spark from the coil, and the electric choke on the carb appears to be working. i have checked the firing order to make sure that it is right as well as double checked the distributor to make sure that i am not 180 degrees out.
the details: the car has a freshly rebuilt 351W backed by a tremec tko transmission. i have a stock single advance distributor with pertronix ignitor ignition. i am also using a flame thrower coil. sitting atop the engine is an edelbrock 1406 600 cfm carb (electric choke).
hopefully, my only problem will turn out to be something with the carb, but i'm sure that you guys will point me in the right direction. thanks in advance.
