350 wont fire :l. Timing??
Hey guys, I have a 1977 chevy with a 350 out of a 1973 chevy in it. I got the motor in and it turns over, but wont fire. It backfires really bad through the exhaust and every once in awhile through the carb. I tried to just get the timing close enough for it to fire but it wont go.
