I dont remember the hole on my stock block looking like that. I know i had one, but ****, that looks like some one took a hammer and busted it out

thanks for the replies it was a surprise it scared me. now i have another problem the car wont start it cranks but wont start. if i crank it for about 10 sec it bake fires really bad. i show fuel pressure but not holding it to long after i turn off the car. also i dead timed the car. any ideas

timing. the dizzy is 180 out

Dknits782 · Oct 6, 2012

so maybe you think i didn't get the distributor back in right? how do u get it back in right? I did it by going to 0 degrees on the compression stroke and then just put the distributor back in is that wrong.

mab · Oct 6, 2012

Thats how its done. did you hold your thumb over the number 1 cylinder and verify it was coming up on the compression stroke?

ryanw · Oct 6, 2012

Turn the crank with your thumb over the #1 spark plug hole, when you feel air being pushed out... stop. Look at balancer. Turn it more until you hit zero on balancer. Then drop dizzy in with it pointing at #1 on the cap. Then youll need to try and start the engine, but youll still need to make some fine tune ajustments with the dizzy.

oh i didn't take the cap off and point it. it points towards number 1 spark plug not number one cylinder correct?

ALMOST STOCK · Oct 6, 2012

The rotor should be pointed toward the #1 plug wire, not the #1 cylinder or the #1 spark lug.

Should be pointed like this.

well it tried to start but wouldnt idle. now its just cranking over and tries to start when i let off the key but wont go.

Check for a vacuum leak.

Dknits782 · Oct 6, 2012

ok i will thanks for the replies im going to take the upper intake back off and see if i forgot something

ALMOST STOCK · Oct 6, 2012

Before you remove it check to make sure your PCV valve is in the rubber grommet at the back of the intake.

Dknits782 · Oct 6, 2012

ok so i checked everything and i can get it to start and idle rough if i hold it at full throttle but when i let off it dies. any ideas? thanks
