Did you run the valves? If it sat for a long time the lifters need to pump up again. Had a new 500 caddy that ran horrible then the lifters filled up and no more popping spitting etc.

Steve,

Good news indeed!

You were indefatigable in your search for the problem and
it paid off.

Is the fuel fresh or is it months old?

> WWWHHHOOOOOO---HHHAAAAA I got my 64 Sport
Fury(383) to start and run on it's own. No battery
jumper or spritzing in gas in the carb. I did not have
a AH-HA! smokeing gun moment during the whole
ordeal. This Fury had been used as a drag car, and
when the former owner decided to sell it. I think he took
off the good ignition and carb and put some things he had
laying around back on it. There were so many things wrong he
prolly got sick of it and then I came along with some cash
in hand. Some rare times it would start when you let
off the key switch and then run fairly well. for a short
time. I am somewhat good at diagnosis but it stymied
me! I knew nothing about Nopar electronic ignition or
how to trace down an ignition problem with them. So I went
back to a rebuilt points distributor. No go. I
messed around with jumper wires and such that I can't
remember the sequence of what I did. I know I learned
what a balladst resister does and how it works now. I got
some wireing diagrams and started sorting out the jumble of
wires. I found that the hot wire to the ballast was the
wrong one. It would shut off the power to it when the engine
was cranking. So I found the wire that remained hot when
cranking the starter. and hooked it to the input side of the
ballast he engine would run with a boost of gas to
start it, but after a short while, would die. I messed with
the timeing but had to guess as the engine would not run
long enough to know when it was close. Rebuilt dist
did not have hardly any point gap . Set that, no go.
Changed out the old MsSD coil for one that does not need a
external ballast resister. No go. Took off the 3310 Hlley
carb and someone had put the accelerator pump diaphram in
upside down! AAHH-HAA!----No go. Put in new
points and condensor, no go. Had plenty of spark at the
wire???? It would start but popped
backfired puked . Has to be the carb. I bought a Holly 3310
carb at a swap meet that suppossedly been rebuilt and on the
shelf for a long time. I had to transfer some parts from the
first Holley It would then start but still popped and
backfired occasionally. So then I thought the plug gap would
have been wider for the elet. ign. so I TOOK OUT THE PLUGS,
CLEANED THEM AND RESET THE GAP. ( caps not
intended) Man ! what a PITA to change those
plugs with headers !!! The engine started right up,
might have been a combination of getting the carb soaked up
with gas and the plugs.

cold, but after a while when warmes up better, it started
running smoother. . I stopped for the day so didn't get the
carb finer tuned.

manual choke is not hooked up. Any other things that
could still be a problem? Thanks for your
input...........................MO
