I sure hope the rolling eyes thing isnt directed to
me... thats not a good way to get help... just saying





I'm assuming the was that no one responded after you that night.

I had a built 440 do this to me several years ago. Stupid rookie mistake that I KNEW I had done right. I didn't bother lining up the dots because I wanted it right, so I degreed in the cam with a degree wheel and dial indicator gage on the lifter. Problem is I degreed it off the first lobe... intake is the second lobe so I was way off.

Believe it or not I even got it to run this way but it took hours of playing with the distributor to get it to fire. It ran but didn't want to rev, was waaaaaaaaaaay off on power and coated the exhaust in black soot. 3 carbs and 2 distributors later I tore into it to figure out what was wrong. Re timed the cam off the proper lobe and it fired like a boss.

Good luck!
