1966 PONTIAC GTO 389 4BBL AUTO. CAR HAS BEEN REWIRED WITH NEW WIRING HARNESSES, NEW COIL, NEW CAP , ROTOR, POINTS, PLUGS, WIRES. CARB WAS REBUILT. NEW FUEL FILTER, NEW FUEL PUMP. CAR CRANKS, THERE IS GAS IN THE FUEL BOWLS, THERE IS POWER RUNNING THRU THE POINTS BUT THE CAR WONT START. WHAT AM i MISSING ? CARB IS AN EDELBROCK 1406.

 

Not a Camaro/Firebird, BUT....do to start any car you need fuel, air and spark. You're getting fuel and you're probably getting air, have you checked for spark at the plugs? When you rebuilt the distributor did you set the base timing by properly adjusting it to TDC?

 

Check compression you might have a jumped timing chain.

 

Car was running before the rewire and all the parts were replaced. Timing was checked and placed at TDC . Distributor never removed from car. I know there is electricity between the points because i was using a metal feeler gauge to set points and had left the ignition in the on position and got a spark when the gauge touched the side of the breaker plate. will HAVE TO PULL A PLUG AND GROUND IT TO SEE IF THERE IS SPARK AT THE PLUGS. Another possibility I saw on Velocity last night is the butterflies arent opening on the bottom of the carb. ??
