The intake is for a spread bore and it isn’t a brand new distributor it was running on the motor for maybe only 6 months and is a msd street fire
Alright I’ll go through these steps to double check and the carburetor didn’t run the perfect before but it fired right up every time but could...
Put my finger in number 1 work plug hole and it blew my finger off and I spun the motor a little to get it to zero
Timing mark on crank at zero
I checked tdc on number 1 again the rotor is pointed just to the left slightly of number 1.
I wanted note out of the engine and no it’s a new solid cam with new solid lifters
I mean when on the compression stroke of number 6 cylinder at tdc it is almost pointed at the driver seat
When on the compression stoke of number 7 the rotor pints at almost the driver seat
I have the rotor pointed to number one on the engine and that post is also the number one spark plug wire. Is that what you mean?
I set number one to tdc and adjusted exhaust 1,3,4,8 and intake 1,2,5,7 and then number 6 tdc adjusted exhaust 2,567 and intake 3,4,6,8
Yeah and the mark on the crank was at 0
Alright thanks everybody one last thing do you think that a bad intake leak could cause this problem. Fires for a second or two and then back...

It was also able to run pretty decent with just a stock 2 barrel intake with a Rochester on it but when I switched it back over to this carburetor...
When it is at tdc on the compression stroke(finger blown out of number 1 cylinder) I drop the distributor pointed at number one cylinder and...
Timing was set using the finger over the number one cylinder method. Adjusted while cranking the car and got it where the car was to fire but...
It’s a Sbc 327 with flat top pistons .40 over. Not a fresh rebuild but ran decent when I decided to upgrade. Hei distributor
I put perfectly fine running double hump heads and a fresh solid lifter 30-30 cam with a Edelbrock performer intake and a Holley 650 double...
