First, why doesn't the orig. engine run,is it actually a mechanical fail(stuck valves,rusted
cylinders/rings)? A car that has been dormant that long could have a host of fuel and ign.
related issues.Using a new/good fresh charged battery? Just curious. If it is a 170 the head-
pipe will be short of the exh. manny,and a later eng. will have a cable operated throttle to
compound linkage issues. Chances are the OE 1bbl is the smaller cfm model,so it won't serve
a 225 well either.Not that there is a shortage of members here w/rod actuated 225 carbs for
you to pick-up.........
