Title: Need some ideas BBC won't stay running
Post by: 81sprint on June 11, 2016, 04:00:12 PM: Ok so I just took the sprint to test on the trailer at the lake. It fires but dies immediately. Little backfire sometimes. Have fuel pressure, carbs just done by c&j. Pulled dizzy out to verify not 180 out, firing order good,
gonna check voltage at the coil with switch in run when I get home but looking for any ideas, the only changes to the motor are the tunnel ram and carbs

Well that would be about the same as a non running Chevy ;)
