well the starter is a high torque deco remy ,it has the cast nose cone,Iam not running the brace ,got to dig it out .but everything was fine at first,thats whats got me stumped.What would cause it to start.THe compression should not be to high,the pistonsI put in are about 91/2 :1,we ported and polished the heads and had them milled.Iwas trying to keep on pump gas without alot of preignition.teh starter problems are diving me nuts,I've put a total of 3 basic starters and 1 high torque,which is on it now.
