Yo pishta If I dont get it done myself I gotta call upon your mad scientist mind. You have helped me plenty so far!

Thanks guys, been raining here and getting off work late, my next step is the timing and check the rotor. I will report back with my findings. I plugged the brake vacuum and thought I was going to be driving that night but nope. Must be timing. This is my project car so all I have is time on...

Thanks guys, sorry about my fit on the jokes. Its all in fun. I will try another day with other options and update

hahaha no!

electronic ignition system with a distributor based trigger. I have to check the throttle cable as well, the carb was changed and dont know if it was adjusted, i may remove the throttle cable for my next start up attempt

Thanks, ya I am in CA and not cold here lol. However I am only in day two of this debacle so still alot to check out, I also need to check out the timing. Dist has elec ignition on top, want to make sure I didnt throw it off.

When I close the choke it wants to start and somewhat does and idles a split second. I am messing with the timing tomorrow. I know I sounded like an A@@ with vacuum question. I know I know. Not trying to erk you guys either just frustrated lol.

Its not that I thought the vaccum was ok, it was that I just found that the vaccum was open, just didnt know if this was causing the problem, got a plug after work, sealed it in and same problem. Like you say we all gotta learn someway and I rather learn by burning off my eyebrows then burning...

Man I am suprised that I get more jokes and smart comments on here than real help. Some of my other posts and I have been walked right through it. I send friends here because of how helpful most of you have been. Now I get this? Im thinking timing too. Ill just refer to my book I guess. Good...

Really, major problems like I am experiencing? I have a regulator but no gauge, getting a gauge this weekend and hopefully that lets me set it just right.

Problem, I have the regulator and no gauge (getting one this weekend) not sure about a fuel return vent. It seems like it wants to fire up just wont quite get there. I dont want to flood it by pumping gas, but it seems like this is what its asking for. However I stuck my fingers down in the...

ok, so I plug up the rear vacuum, get excited turn over and FFFRRRRTTTT nothing. Still white smoke puff from carb. Its almost like I see a sprits of fuel shoot out the carb as well its really wet. I have a fuel cell with a regulator and electric fuel pump and seems as if the fuel is flowing too...

Called Edelbrock, MUST PLUG power brake vacuum if not in use. I figured but wanted to make sure this was the cause of the eyebrow burning flames shooting out of the carb. 1/4 NPT plug and the problem should go away, without it plug it is causing the carb to run way to lean and will cause this...

It came with the engine and the guy swears it was new (looks new) , no manuel, I always try to read first then trouble shoot later, the only thing I can see on the edelbrock sight is that the carb comes with a plug if you do not use the power brake vacuum port. Doesnt give the "this is what...

lol Great advice caferacerx.

I installed a new Edelbrock 4bbl carb and noticed that when I turn it over I get a huge fire ball out the top of the carb. At first I considered timing, after double checking I still get the fireball and a puff of white smoke, and engine wont idle, if I pump the gas I get loud back fires. Now I...
