I have a 1963 Nova 194 six just installed in a 38 Chevy 1/2 ton. Engine easily turns over, starts for about two seconds and dies. Fuel pump sends fuel to carb. In gas line filter has been replaced. Have replaced coil, points, condenser, rotor and distributor cap. I have spark to plugs. Have rebuilt and cleaned carb.
I have aligned TDC marks on front crank and the rotor is pointing to #1 cylinder wire hole in distributor. Intake manifold is wet with gasoline. When engine catches, any throttle input appears to flood engine and cause it to stall.
Any ideas? I am at a loss, other than just replacing the carb, it does not look like the original, it is probably a rebuild.
Guy I purchased it from was a GMC technician and said it ran well in his 63 nova wagon before he removed it to put in a small block. Again any advice, tips, or anything I may have missed would be appreciated.
