350 SB new carb/intake/hei squeeks at carb
I recently bought a new Mallory HEI distributor, Eldelbrock Peformer intake and 600 cfm performer electric choke carb... the old motor had the stock points ignition and divorced choke..put the motor at TDC and dropped it all in but it wont fire/make spark and also there is a horriblly annoying squeek commin from the carb just when u try to start it :rolleyes: maybe from the choke? need some help on trying to get this thing running again.
wondering if maybe the ground in the cap isnt grounding for the HEI?? HELP! ...it would be nice to drive on my birthday.
motor is in a 72 2wd 1/2 ton suburban SB 350 TH 400

no more sqeek just backfiring
hey i found out what the sqeak was it was the enigine grounds not grounded, so the choke wasnt wokring right ( this took care of the sqeak) and the ground IN the cap also was not grounding properly so i fixed all that and when i set the motor to TDC i pulled the #1 plug stuck my finger in and had a freind bump it over till it pushed my finger out and the line on the balancer read 2 from tdc so i figured that its TDC right? ok so then my distributor i noticed that if i turn the bottom gear untill it makes a clicking sound then it drops right in place bolted it snug put the wires and cap on and the plug then i go to fire it and it has spark now becuase its backfiring really nicley :rolleyes: could it be 180 degrees off still? do i have the wrong #1 on teh cap? HEI's r kinda hard to figure out for me cuz no rotor to point to #1 for me, can i drop the old distributor in again after TDC to see where the rotor points and then make my HEI #1 plug where that rotor was pointing is this affective any imideate response will be appreciated wheile its raining so i can get back out there! thanks for all help
