MSD problems

Got it to fire, after talking to MSD tech he assured me that everything was fine when I was getting spark to the #1 plug wire. Instructed to use starting fluid. I dumped a **** load in, and it fired. Amazing that it would not catch with just gas, as much as I put down the carb. Could be a testament to how bad our gas is today...Pretty happy at this time. On to putting 3/8 fuel line on next..
