460 won't fire
I have a 1973 460 engie in my Charger jet drive boat. The #7 cylinder was sleeved and engine put back together. I can't get the engine to fire. It actually did fire once and run but quit. Now it won't fire. I need some help and pictures to show me how to set the timing and wire the distributor. The carb is a Carter 9638 and the distributor has points. I tried bringing the #1 cylinder to TDC and at that point I assumed the rotor should point to the marked #1 terminal on the dist. cap but it does not. I am stuck now
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
