Re: fire in the hole!!

Ha Ha, I rechecked my plug wires and I had 1 and 3 wires reversed. Now its right on the mark. The backfires gone but I hear a bad sound from somewhere. Really don't see how a rod could have got thrown while sitting in the garage for  3 years seeing that it ran great when I parked it and yes I pre-oiled the motor for five minutes before fire up with a dummy shaft on my drill. Thought at first it might be lifters not filling but it seems to be too deep of a sound. I am wondering if the tin plate between the motor and tranny is rubbing/ banging on the torque converter. I removed the little inspection plate and that didn't change it The bigger plate can only go in one way ,correct(??) because of the starter hole.

Neal...line up the damper mark and the "0" mark on the timing tab. Check and see where the rotor is pointing. You will either be bang-on #1 cylinder TDC firing stroke, OR, 180* out, which will be #6 cylinder TDC firing stroke. At one of those settings, it should start and run...you may have to advance the dizzy slightly to get it to run WELL!

Subject: fire in the hole!!

The barracuda finally ran today under its own power for a few minutes. Definitely has some bugs to work out. I finally just gave up on that mallory unit i was trying to use and stuck in an old  circa 1970 points setup. Fired right up... kind of. I put the timing light on it and cant even see the timing mark on balancer, mark  must be waaay out of range. I know the balancer itself has not slipped, I checked that this fall with a TDC stop. It was dead on. Next thought was  distributor set in 180 off. Absolutely sure it is in correctly as I just did it an hour before fire up. I bumped the motor with a remote starter and the finger in the hole method. Sure felt like it was on compression stroke. Plug wires are all hooked up in correct order. It is backfiring out the pipes, not thru carb.  Any help will be greatly appreciated
