It runs! Timing was off apparently.

Guess im bolting on the exhaust with the o2 sensor on it

I guess ill try fattening up the mixture.

Well, just shot gas out of the carb and had a small fire ball. Maybe i need to recheck timing? Im probably gonna do that tomorrow when my friend is here to help. I plugged the vacuum lines and that seemed to help a little. Its a little more eager to start.

Ok. Will do. I think fuel delivery to the carb is fine cause fuel pours out of the line and carb fuel inlet when i disconnect the hose.

I cant get it to run that long only like 2 to 3 seconds.

Ive got a pretty big cam in it. The choke is definitely closed rn though.

Its an e choke and its unplugged so it doesnt just open and stay open after one failed start attempt.

Its a brand new edelbrock avs2 that has sat for a while. Ive never got it to run on anything but i only have the one car it would fit on.

It is wired up correctly, it cant be the problem cause when i bypass everything and just put it in run and short the starter i have spark and it fires but doesnt stay running.

Lemme look for them. They may have gotten lost over the years. I built this motor then it sat for a while. I just primed it at started working on it again.

Brown is not hooked up, so i need it hooked up?

Its hooked up as directed in the instructions to the ignition wire. The ballast resistor is bypassed. Im not thinking its an electrical issue. Ill double check everything though.

Seconds.

Well my carb is getting fuel. I checked to see if theres fuel in my oil and i thought i smelled some at first but i cant smell it anymore and neither can anyone else. Still no luck starting it. Gonna check plugs.
