Engine Mechanical problem
1984 Chevy Monte Carlo 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic
----------------------------------------------------------------
I have a 1984 Monte Carlo. It had a 305 Engine in it. I replaced the 305 Engine with a 350 Small Block that I got from one of my wife’s co-workers. This 350 that I put into the Monte has been sitting outside of a vehicle for about three years. The guy said he “greased†and “turned†it regularly.
Along with putting the new motor in, I have also replaced the carburetor and the fuel pump. They are both Edelbrock.
But I have got problems! I finished the car Sunday night, tried to fire it and it wouldn’t even turn over. Fixed that problem. It will turn over now. I can smell the gas. The carburetor shoots flames. The car will back fire. But I can’t get the d@mn thing started! I have checked the timing and it is good! I have tried changing the firing order to a different way that was suggested to me. That didn’t work either!
Does anyone have any suggestions? Can anyone help me out? I have GOT to get this car up and running!
