So here is where I am. I pulled all wires, put number 1 at TDC on compression stroke. Relaced it all up..primed carb with gas. I get some popping out the exhaust and through carb, some smoke drifting out of carb...but no signs of firing off? Please tell me I did not hose up the timing chain install! I lined up cam and timing mark. Used a standard NAPA brand timing set. I have good spark, plugs are good, wires are good..the shortblock I built had piston, rings, crank..basic shortblock already assembled. What gives? Compression feels strong. I will get a compression tester tomorrow to double check it. This is very frustrating.... gotta be something I am missing here..
