okay, i put a brand new gear drive, intake, chrome dress up kit, water pump, alternator, fuel pump, oil pump and starter on this engine i pulled out of an 84' monte carlo w/a 305. I got a brand new starter and when i give the starter power, the enigne turns over just fine without the spark plugs in. But with the spark plugs in, it'll start to turn about a fifth of the way (on the flywheel) and then stop . its got a brand new starter and battery that i was using so i dunno why it wont turn over all the way like it does when the spark plugs are out of it. hmmmm ? Maybe i dont have a good enough ground on the engine because its really not grounded by more than that negative clamp on the starter. Any ideas people ? or do yall think that its because the engine isnt grounded very well ?
please help,
all the best,
