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? |

She lives (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
Spark timing was retarded by probably one tooth. There are many details to be worked out, carbs, fuel pump, generator light, .... but I can tell by the sound, she is going to rock (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) |

What could I be missing, other than a few brain cells |
