Let me start off with this: GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Alright, now to my situation.
Im a first timer when it comes to building a motor, but I have been around cars my whole life, so I do alright most of the time. The motor is an ealry 70's 351 cleveland that has been stroked to a 385 with a fairly aggressive cam. The heads are stock 2v, fully port matched with the intake. I am running a full msd setup (6al, 8.8mm wires, blaster 2 coil). I am very confident in all my wiring as I have checked and rechecked it. Also, I know my firing order is correct because I went through that 5 times already. The motor is getting fuel and spark, so here is whats happening.
When I go to start it, I will get I pop, and thats it. Then I just get the cranking noise. Every time I try, I get one pop-like backfire noise and thats it, only 1. On occasion there will be a little fire coming up through the carb, but nuthin serious.
So whats my problem, what did I do wrong?
If there is more info needed before we can determine the problem please let me know and I will try my best to inform.
Thanks sooo much in advance, I really really want to get this thing started!
