the point gap calls for . .016 cranked engine so the plastic thing on points were on top of lobe then closed points on feeler guage just enough so guage was snug but not too tight .Im tempted to advance the timing,, one mark on the distributer
Thanks to all for the imput. The pump did pick the gas up and to the carb. Just didn’t have the fuel hose in the can just right. However , after removing the top of carb,BC Rochester single barrel, I checked the floast level it was good. The pump inside was free and working . I removed the rocker cover and all the valves are working (Hydralic) lifters .m, All was oiling real good. No sludge build up.Spark plugs are new and there is spark from wire to plug. It seems to want to run better with the excellerator wide open but will barely run and stop sometimes backfire thru carb.Also the vacuum advance is also working . Rotor not broken, points look good however I haven’t checked the point gap. The last time it ran 3 years ago it ran good . Didn’t touch any adjustments , just removed old gas line and installed fuel filter before fuel pump.Without a timing light I can only check the point gap. After that I am at a loss. As I mentioned before the carb was rebuilt in Canada .
