just finshed my new 572 hemi. Engine is on a break in stand. It has a msd 6al and distributor. power is going threw the distributor ask my left hand ouch. with the number piston at tdc I made sure the number 1 valves were closed and set the distributor button pointing at number 1 going counter clockwise. I even flip the distriburtor thinking i could be 180 i got the same response it acts like it is still out of time. I even went 1 notch to the right and left still acts funny. my valve lash is right on the money. it will turn over but not run my cam is 2 degrees advanced and is 10 to 1 engine. I have a electric fuel pump and regulator and is set on 6 pounds. everything on the engine is new. the onley the i can think of is maybee oil is getting under my spark plug tubes and messen with my plugs . Plugs are autolite 65. please help

You need 2 thing to fire it up,spark & fuel.Did you set the floats on the carb{s}?Is ther fuel squiting in when you "pump"it?If so,then it's the spark timing
Compression would be the third one but we wont talk about that one yet

Thats not what we're saying... whats the cranking pressure... and 10:1 is just a math figure... the cam will dictate what the pressure is
