Hello,

Im new to this board, Any info is a great help.

I have a 1980 trams am with a 350 small block.
2 years ago we put a new timing gear set on and all new gaskets, but left the car alone. it has sat in a garage for 2 years. and now it wont run. we drained all the gas we could and put in fresh gas and new spark plugs.

the motor turns over and it tries to start but will not go. it has spark and fuel is going to the carb, the exhuast is not hooked up to the headers and as we crank it over it shoots flames out the heads ..... dont know if thats good or not. we checked and re checked the order for the plugs and distributor but the motor will not run. what could be a possible cause of this????
