you can presurize the fuel tank with an air line or even the discharge hose on a vacume cleaner and blow the fuel out

Yep, just don't put more than a couple of pounds of air pressure in there or you will end up with a 50 gallon fuel tank.
So, I wasn't the only one who spent my misguided youth siphoning gas out of other peoples cars, huh? Not real cool when you don't get your mouth off of the hose quick enough and you get a gulp of hi test!
And gas was only 20 cents a gallon and we still stole it!

Kind of like a scene from a Walter Matthau movie when I was a kid. He kept putting gas in the neighbors car. The neighbor would brag about how excellent his car was and what great gas mileage it got, then they started siphoning it out, and the guy starts to cuss his car out, can't understand what's wrong with it, meanwhile Walter just sits back and grins. Wish I could remember the movie it was, maybe one of the bad news bears?

ok guys. got all the fuel out and ran the fuel line and thought i had the wiring done. the new fuel is flowing well into the carb. engine turns over well but is not firing. ran a wire from the + on the coil to the ballast resistor. from the - on the coil to the distributor. put the wire from the hei to the ballast resistor. also have the wire from the electric choke to the ballast resistor as that is what i was told to do from edelbrock. i have all new spark plugs with proper gap and spark plug wires. did them one at a time to make sure that i kept the original firing order for the engine. what am i missing.BARB

If your runing an HEI I don't think you want a ballast resistor.. HEI's run full 12 volts unless you have somthing special?Charlie

You can do it by hand on the crank bolt or bump the starter, just remember that the coil is pushing at least 20,000 volts and if you get across it it'll sure let you know.Ken Thomas

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
