Sometimes I wonder!!

Tell you how my stocker adventure has already gone!! Changed the intake to a good one, it blew out the gaskets, LOL. I didn't check it when I put it one but it hit the end rails before it hit the heads, hence the gasket blowing out. Anyway pushed it in trailer, took intake off (in trailer)and had it milled. Installed it yesterday to find out for some reason, now I have no FIRE!!!!! I already needed a converter to go in front of my th350 but since Dad's motor is out I am "stealing" his 200 and converter. So lets go over this in numerical order, LOL
1. First test pass car has HUGE flat spot, no front end movemnet, can't fix it at track so wasted weekend.

2. Order Santuff front springs, install and lower rear of car. Order intake with correct number and good carb

3.. Get a good carb, change intake to a legal number, head to reynolds. 1st pass, car drives off...again, although no flat spot now, blew out gaskets at egr crossover, end of weekend, push in trailer

4. Remove intake in trailer and have milled, install intake.............now it won't start, no fire!!!!

So now I have no fire, need to change trans and order some tires, all before the weekend after next.........did I mention I am trying to get our house ready to sell because we signed a contract on another house.

Remind me again!!!!! Maybe I will see some of yall in 2 weeks, LOL

Since it was running before the intake removal Jamie my bet would be pin(s) backed out of connector(s) at the distributor.

Gonna do the ol' jumper wire test tonight and that will tell me coil, box, or pickup. I am thinking it is the pickup or wires. Nothing else got touched but dist and plug at dist.
