Pull the cap off the distributor . Crank the engine over and watch to see if the rotor is turning . If it is not turning . You need a Timing chain and gears . I had a 400M do that . If the valves don't open . The Gas can't get in !

Could you have disturbed the firing order or timing when you made the switchover? If the engine is firing when it shouldn't you might get the symptoms you are describing. Did it seem to backfire out the carb at all?

Thanks guys! It's been a long road. Fun doing finishing work for sure. Getting the dash ready for paint and some interior trim. Have to do some finish work on the aluminum headliner before...
