New motor no start after break in.

alright sfter i started up my new 383 and broke it in properly i shut it off then when my friends wanted to hear it i started it up again effortlessly. After sitting all night and then changing the oil i tried fireing it up and all that happend was it cranked with no fire. I have spark and i have fuel there is no air blockage so what the hell could it be?

try starting it with the throttle wide open or partly open.. you may have to play with it too while you're turning it over.. my 385 doesnt start without me doing that..

in a fuel injected car holding the throttle wide open while cranking will put the car into clear flood mode, and not fire the injectors to help clear out the excess fuel.
