Hey everyone,
Well I'm just about ready to give up on this car. I've tried for 2 weeks to get it to start and it just won't. Let me give you some facts.
It's a 1966 coupe with a 289.
New pertronix flamethrower coil and distributor
Edelbrock top end RPM intake, heads and roller cam
New holley carb.
I have done all the usual things such as checking spark on each plug.
Used the finger method to find TDC and verified it by taking off valve cover and checking rocker position.
Checked the vacuum hoses and fuel is getting to the engine.
I have gotten a few backfires out of the carb but other than that nothing.
This is beyond frustrating. I read other posts where people have similar issues but eventually they say theirs starts.
The only other thing to add is that when I pull the plugs they are wet with gas.
What am I missing here?
