71 Dart 410 stroker ..

well...crapola....Wednesday evening we tried to fire engine and it will not spin...thought batteries were dead...but i just charged them a week or so ago....so we put charger on ...and say tomorrow....

I go by the garage in the morning since I am working a mile away from it....batteries charged...still will not spin...ok....i put a big racket on it...and it barely turns.....ok....WTF.....ok...engine turned great before it was in car....

We ran the fuel pump...i check the carb...and rear rear bowl is empty.... so is there fuel in the cylinders....pull the plugs...all are wet...hit the starter button....spits out fuel ......leave the plugs out.....to dry out....

come back in evening....decided to pull the dipstick...you can smell the fuel.....drain the oil ....and decided to let is sit over night will pan bolt out...and valve cover breathers out.....Tomorrow....LOL

BTW....Tuesday I took the carb apart and cleaned it with brake cleaner...reassembled it...and...tonight I am looking on the work bench and there is the reddish gasket....and only these E85 carbs use those gaskets.... my dumb *** left the rear metering block gasket out..
