Good one!

Do you want to part with the old one? It would be better than none at all. Or can you tell me the part number and where I can find one.

This will not work for me. I have a 9 1/4" differential.

I thought so. I have the bracket, but the rubber is gone. On my bracket where the rubber should be I have a rectangle slot. Does that sound correct to you? I can seem to find a replacement. I also found out I have the 9 1/4" differential.

Does anyone know what this is called and where I may find one? Tim

Hello Guys, Again I want to thank you all for your inputs....What is wrong with this picture I have attached? It totally blows me away someone could do this. It looks like @400sforever and @Blackbee603 were on the right track. Yes the cylinders were washed out and the cam timing is 180 out. I am...

Thanks for your reply @Lefty71. The gas I use is always high octane non-ethanol. Today I plan to replace the new fuel pump I got from year-one with a working one and will fabricate a fuel line to the carb. Your comment about pouring fuel down the carb one is a good one. This will be my last...

I have bad news. I tried to start the car with no luck. I had help from a neighbor who used to be a mechanic in the 70s-80s the same time I was a mechanic working for my Dad's business. I also got a new coil just to be sure I was getting a hot spark. We cranked the engine with a timing light to...

Yes and thank you for your help! I just replied with a long explanation in this thread.

Well good news. Yesterday after going thru the steps laid out by Blackbee, I found the compression tripled! It went from the 40s up to 120s. For each test, I looked at the grounded spark plug to see if the spark occurred at each compression stroke and for all cylinders it was confirmed. Getting...

It is.

once I did what you recommended by putting the distributor 180 degrees from where it was it back fires up the carb, so that is not it.

Wow!... I know this is more work, but it is good to hear other cases of it. I want to do a compression test yet. It may not tell me much, but it tried to this tonight, but my compression tester gave it up. go figure, it sat in my tool box for decades. Do you think the compression test will...

I did all you say...Still no results.

Thank you Blackbee for your reply. I do plan to pull all the plugs and do a compression test. I have a feeling that some of the valves may be bent do to a dump *** installing the timing chain wrong. Oil in the cylinders is a good idea. Getting the engine to what I think is TDC is simple and I...

Thanks for replying Lefty, The car is in a semi conditioned barn I converted into a shop. Temps do not get below 60. I do not have the gas line connected since I need to fabricate one. Therefore, I just spray starting fluid into the carb that I just rebuilt or pour a little gas into it. You...

I have replaced the wiring harness. I have a dual ballast resistor that checked out fine on both high an low side. I have verified that the distributor is in time and points to #1 on the distributor when cylinder 1 is in the compression stroke. I tested the coil resistance for the primary and...

I got the car as a basket case. I did try starting it with the 4 bbl carb on it and it did fire up. I have check it for TDC and the distributor is in the right place. Last night I was testing the spark and it is healthy. I am using starting fluid to get it started. I think the 2 bbl manifold I...

Yes

How do you all purpose I start the troubleshooting? I am getting spark to the plugs. I have verified I have the timing correct by setting up the distributor to TDC. I have by passed the ballast resistor to insure I am getting at least 11v to the + side of the coil. I have set the electronic...
