Hello,
I disassembled the 235 cui engine of my Chevy Pickup build 1953. Today I tried to start the engine. I put the choke half out and pulled on the starter, he worked well.
After a few turns of the engine the carburetor make a big bang and the carburetor smells of petrol. After this bang i tried it again, but the engine wanted to start.
I think its a problem of the poistion of the ignition distributor.
Here you can see how the ignition distributor is fixed on my engine:

How should the distibutor be fixed? Can you send in your answer a picture? Or another question how must I turn the distributor to "A" or "R"?
