rebuilt 350 problems, suggestions?? Please
All,
A while ago I bought a short block 350 for a 1979 chev 4X4 pickup, the engine was built up using parts from an old engine (carb, fuel pump, etc). It has never been ran. Heres the problem, I can get the engine to run when the timing is set really advanced, not even on the flywheel gage like 20º from TDC, the engine runs really rough here but at least it will run. When I attempt to set the timing correctly (8º from TDC) the engine dies. Any suggestions??
thanks to all you gearheads
Ryan
