    1980 SBC 350 w/Quadrajet Carb

    After checking the timing over and over again, I finally got her to fire up. I set the timing mark to TDC once again and something told me to recheck the rotor (for the 5th time). Behold! 180* out of position. I have no idea how this happened but she fires up. Now I have to move to the radiator...

    Gotni Got it. I’ll give it a shot. I move the timing a bit before seeing your reply and it puffed out of the exhaust. I verified the position of the rotor vs the timing mark at #7 since I read that #7 is supposed to be TDC. Once I moved it that next time, it puffed through the carb again.

    Nope, it had many splicings in the wiring that go from the starter to the distro block until I replaced it. I verified the wires and plug order so yes they are in the right order. Yes, all leads are connected.

    Yes, it has spark. The timing was verified yesterday but only using rotor position and timing mark on the h-balancer. I didnt think to check for fuel spraying out of the pump nozzles. Ill do that tonight.

    1980 SBC 350 w/Quadrajet Carb

    Hi Everyone, I am trying to get my 1980 C10 Big10, SBC 350 w/quadrajet carb to start. It had been sitting in my neighbors yard from the early 2000's before I bought it this year in April. I've changed everything in the ignition system (plugs, cap/rotor, ignition cont'l mod, coil and plug wires)...

    So here my issue, I bought my neighbors truck from them during probate. It’s a 1980 C10 Scottsdale with the BigTen setup. It has a SBC 350 with a quadrajet carb and a TH350 transmission. I replaced the fuel pump to carb line and internal filter, plugs, wires, cap and rotor. Timing looks good...
