Thanks for the input. Do you know if the firing order is in fact 1-5-3-6-2-4 for a 1953 216 engine? Also, is the firing order clockwise around the distributor? Do you think that pouring gasoline into the carb feed tube would supply enough gasoline to at least get the engine to start or would it maybe require a full fuel load pressure as supplied by the fuel pump? I'm sorry if this sounds like basic questions but, I never had an older vehicle before and really don't know anything about the wiring and other systems for this vehicle. Any information you or others can supply will be GREATLY appreciated.
