Gentlemen... success at long last! Based on your feedback, and some very useful gouge from a personal friend and B-Body guru, I was able to isolate the problem down to the fuel system. We were able to rule out the fuel tank, fuel lines, and fuel pump as the problem, which led (as most of you...

Thanks for clarifying, in case I muddled it up. Yes, the engine cranks but will not start. As for the choke test, it didn't move with throttle application. This picture shows the location of choke plate - both before and after.

I don't think I have enough time to respond to everyone's posts and suggestions tonight, but please let me say THANK YOU for the suggestions. I have a lot of work to do, but you guys are the best. Thanks for the knowledge dump, and keep it coming! I will let you know as soon as I find the...

She looks good from afar, but there's a lot going on under that hood!

Good afternoon everyone. Just thought I'd start my first post by thanking my great-grandfather's generation for what they did in the Great War, "over there." Today marks 100 years (plus a few hours) from the armistice that stopped the First World War. The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th...
