i just built a 350 for my 64 belair and everything was hooked up and when i was trying to start it it flooded. then i tried to start it again and the carb burst into flames. i panicked and threw water on it(i know that was the worst thing to do) so i pulled the plugs and let the water drain overnight and when i went to start it today it siezed up and the crank would barly turn. if anyone has any advice on somethin i could do that wouldnt involve a rebuild id really appreciate it. thanks a lot(help fast im goin crazy thinkin about this)

WOW! hopefully this is a joke. but if not try pouring oil in the cylinders and letting it soak for a while, then try to move the crank by hand. And good luck.

this sounds stupid but try marvels mystery oil. it works wonders. put that down your cylinder

Did you put the plugs back in before you turned the engine over?

If yes. you may have hydraulic-locked the engine with the water.
Try spinning the engine with the plugs out to remove all water.

hey thanks a lot guys. i popped the plugs out a squirted a little oil in the holes, turned the crank a little, then oiled and turned a couple more times. each time i oiled it the crank got easier to turn. and now its turnin the way it was before the fire. i just gotta get some new plugs and then im gonna start it on friday. ill let u know how it goes. thanks again
