Angry 86 olds cutlass backfire

I have a 1986 cutless supreme brome with a 350 chevy engine. Bought it from older lady who's husband passed away before the engine was completed. I have it all put together and it won't start. It will turn over but continues to turn and then backfires. I have pirchased a new starter and installed it. It had a little bit of bad gas in it that was sitting for 12 years. I added new gas to it and Im not sure if that would have a negative effect on the engine or not. Thank you for your time.

Re: 86 olds cutlass backfire

Make sure the wires are in the right order and the rotor is facing #1, you do not know at what point the work was in process, start from scratch, sounds like it is out of time. Yes the gas is dead and may have also gummed up the carb, lots of things to go over and consider both in where was the work stopped and the fact it sat for 12 years.
