Fresh 2.7, doesn't want to wake up Options

[930cabman]

My /6 conversion is going on 3 years as it seems as many do. I had a local old school reputable shop build the stock 2.7, case was done at Ollies, .... should be a great engine. Finally trying to get her barking, but just won't take hold. While cranking she wants to start, but when I release the starter, she conks out. We have a spark (not real significant), timing is close, carbs appear ok.

Is it possible the valves or maybe rings are not sealing because the engine sat for about 2 years?

I moved the battery to the trunk. Then fabricated a panel to hold both the MSD box and coil. Did have to get a longer coil wire. It does open up the engine compartment a lot. Mark

I left the battery in the stock location and mounted the MSD box where you have the battery.

Somewhere there is a load (short) in the wiring, as far as I know there should be infinite ohms between the + and - battery cables, when disconnected of course.
