360 magnum troubles

Can you give us the piston model and the cam specs? It is not clear on how you set the cam timing. What is the cranking compression?

While the carb setup is suspect, it could also be ignition related.
Spark plug gap?
Ignition system type?

Does it die if you open the throttle very gradually? The pump shot sounds quite adequate for just coming off of idle; does the shot start the instant you move the throttle?

i used these

the cam is .282/.282 duration and around .525 lift. i didnt degree it though, and when i put it together i didnt even know what cam timing was. just stabbed it in there. I do know the cam and crank gears are oriented correctly though. (had to do it twice)

i went by the book with .040
my distributor is one of the skip white ebay "hei style" ones

yeah. ill only get maybe 1/4-1/2" push on the linkage and itll die. the shot start Almost immediately
