I thank every one for their ideas about this . It was a ignition problem, the electronics in my Mallory distributor burned up probably when programing my Digital gauges, lesson learned, unplug the ignition before messing with digital stuff save a head ache, even if it's just for a couple minutes.
I will look into that, it does seem to me that the carb is starving, It has been a intermittent thing for a while now, hard to start and floods easily though.
It just stops firing, just enough to say I heard it fire. The MSD is new, I just got over another problem of not running and replaced it. A few month's back it wouldn't fire at all and I found a bad ground which has solved the problem until now but this time it does make a "igniting noise" but...
Hey thanks for the response, MSD spark controller, it does fire for about one second then rolls, if I wait for 15 minutes it will do the same thing again . I'll do the plug check
When starting I get on little cough out of my 440 w/ Holley 850 but then nothing just cranks. The carb smells like gas and is wet with mist, I have fuel pressure at the inlet, it does "catch" briefly when cranking but won't fire. It did fire yesterday to back it out of the garage but will not...

Thanks for the educated guess's but the ball joints all bushings have been replaced and BTW all work has been done on a lift in a pro shop. A arms are new Hotchkis, new shocks, new torsion bars, all new tie rod ends ect,ect. The only stock item is the lower arms, and those bushings of course...
I have the front end from hades in a 70 SuperBee. Every time it's aligned I roll forward and the front is out within 50 feet of traveling and goes back straight again when going backwards. I can not keep it going straight with any mods done! I'm contemplating a AlterK front end, or the...
