70 351C Starts But Will Not Stay Running?

Fotoman · January 31st, 2012, 02:25 PM

Hello All,

I have a 1970 Mach 1 with a 351C. I installed a complete MSD ignition system, Distributor, Digital 6A Box, & Coil. The Motor ran Awesome & was a Blast to drive. However, the MSD distributor was to tall to install my Shaker Hood Scoop back
on the motor. So, I had to install a Mallory distributor that was short enough to
work with the Shaker Hood Scoop. I really wish that the fine people at MSD would
have warned me about this problem? Anyway, MSD said that the Mallory distributor would work just fine with there 6A Box & Coil. Well, it dosen't. The Motor will start
just fine, however it will Not stay running? Going by there specs all the wires are hooked up correctly. Dose anybody have any ideas what the problem may be? I'd
really like to go for a ride and show this baby off.

Don't you hate when you work so hard to get something done and when you finish it still doesn't work! You might just have to take it to a shop to save yourself a headache

are you sure you have the timing set right? also, did you switch from a mechanical fuel pump to an electric fuel pump?
