66 El Camino 383 10.5/1 Tunnel ram Dual 450s 4 speed (there's another thread on tuning the tunnel)
Anyway, I had a Comp Big Muther Thumpr cam in there and was getting some flack about it being a cruiser cam lotta noise not much power...
So I switched it out to a Crower Ultra Beast 0917 per Grumpy's suggestion.
And now I can't get it started...
Thinking maybe it's a timing issue... backfiring and pooping not even trying to run.
I know the timing chain and gears are lined up "0" dot to dot... Double triple check...
#1 Piston TDC verify with bore scope and lifters being down...cycled a couple times to be sure... Pulled and replaced distributer 180 same backfiring...
Tried both positions twice...
Back to TDC #1 tried advance, neutral and retard timing and still same backfiring...
Doesn't even seem to "lock up" because of too much advance..??
What am I missing. ?
I've done this 100 times before and they always start up even if rough I can roll it in... But this time nothing...
