Hard starting assistance please.

In post 37 you say “still have to install the regulator”. Earlier on in post 30 you say you installed it. You may have multiple issues going on and need to focus on one thing at a time. Start with fuel pressure. Get it down to ~6psi or you will forever battle that carb. Then beg borrow or steal a timing light and tell us what the timing is. It’s not mentioned anywhere. Once those things are done we can narrow it down and someone like @67Dart273 can walk you through electrical testing if you still have no start issues. But get the fuel pressure problem fixed first.
