I have heard many times , not to run an engine without
exhaust manifolds, as when shut off, cool air could warp the valves. I tend to
believe that....................MO

Subject: Timing on New Engine?
I am finally trying to get my 318 poly engine started after a full
rebuild, and am not sure that I have the distributor dialed in close enough to
get it firing. Definitely getting fuel and spark, as it has backfired
through the carb and out the exhaust manifold (no exhaust on it right now, as
the old exhaust was toast).
Nice flame through the carb, and out the exhaust manifold, but no sign
that it is going to start. Tried to see if I could use the timing light,
but could not find the timing tab (maybe they left it off or lost it?).
I can see the timing mark on the damper, but without a timing tab, doesn't
seem to be much help. Tried moving the distributor, but not really
successful. Might be 180 degrees out?
Engine is a newly-rebuilt 318 poly, new 4bbl Edelbrock Performance carb,
factory iron intake/exhaust.
Thoughts? Really wanted to get it going before the cold came
through, but it's rolling into Ohio tonight.
