the guy who sold it to me said he had it running real strong im not sure of the year of the motor but it has just been rebuilt and its got a holly double pumper mds distributer and coil...4 barrel carb,there are a lot of dead end wires...i cant find a fuse box to save my life lol...i put a light tester on the battery and it lit up but then i put i on the coil and i got nothing...the guy who set up the timingon the distributer had it to where it was barely touching the outside of it dont know if that would be the prolem cause i can see where it had been catching...also a mechanic i had spoken to said not to use starting fluid because it was to dry...i dont know if any of this helps or not im new to muscle but i appreciate the help...im open to any ideas thanks guys
