460 gas -- good spark, new plugs, good points and condensor, spark to plugs jumps 1/4" plus. Everything new or rebuilt inside block, new wiring harness, wired according to operator's manual, no corrosion, good grounds, etc. Carb cleaned and rebuilt, all passages confirmed clean. Static timed to TDC on #1, intake and exhaust valves closed, not 180 degrees off. 99% sure it is not an electrical problem. After much cranking, an occasional "starter speedup", it may have fired one time very briefly. The spark plugs are dry. Shouldn't they at least be damp after a lot of cranking? Apparantly not getting fuel to the plugs -- good fuel flow out of tank into carb. 460 has 2 piece mainfold with heat control valve. Valve was stuck open, I broke a couple of bolts trying to disassemble, messed up holes trying to get bolts unstuck, got new IH exhaust manifold first, but the holes were messed up in the intake enough that I had to get a new intake two. Intake is aftermarket. Does not line up exactly with the IH exhaust, but with the gasket, I don't think it leaks, not positive. IF I have a small suction leak somewhere where the intake is not perfectly fitted, will that destroy the ability for the gas to get to the plugs -- I have run out of things to do. Carb has been off twice, I have adjusted static timing from TDC to 4 degrees advance with no luck. The distributer and carb worked fine before disassembly. Any ideas are appreciated. Probably some dumb mistake I made similar to the one when I could not get any spark a couple of days ago.
