And it didn't go well! 69 RR 383 4 speed, strong cam.
- Set timing at TDC and 0 degrees, turned the crank Counter Clockwise to give it 18 degrees BTDC. Turned the distributor to line it back up to cylinder #1.
- Everything is new, pertronix III dist, new firecore wires, new engine, 60 ohm coil, new engine and dash wiring. New demon 750 carb (supposed to b a great carb to run out of the box) Did the MAD upgrade.
- it started and backfired out the carb, then ran real rough like it wasn't running on all cylinders. Everything was shaking. I tried starting again and it didn't start.
- We checked to see if it was getting gas and it was, started again holding gas pedal all the way to the floor and it started, then it did the same thing, let off the pedal and it died.
- Looked at the engine and my eyes started burning, running rich? I did try starting fluid so that could be it, not sure.
- While it was running real rough I was getting 40 psi of oil pressure.
What should I check first? Timing? I thought I set it up correct. For the time it ran, the engine did get real hot. Any help would be appreciated, first time starting a new mopar engine.
Thanks!
