Hey,
I have a 1991 Buick roadmaster 305, and I would have to say I’m not a GREAT mechanic, but I’m OK...any ways, I change a head gasket in my car, took the intake off, and the distributor, and all that good stuff, well i got my car back together and its not wanting to start, when i let the starter spin, it'll just backfire thru the carb, but not start/run at all, so I’m wondering if its the way I dropped the distributor, or is in a faulty seal on the intake or head gasket.
Hope you can help me
