What do you mean by "quick do it yourself" valve job? Did you just lap them in with compound or what?

That's not the best way to do a valve job, but as long as they hold compression it won't keep it from starting. What's all done to the engine. Give us some more info. If you have spark, compression, timing, & fuel it should run.

is it popping threw the carb or out of the exhaust?

set ur motor at tdc and restab ur distibutor pointing at number 1
ur timing is way off |
It doesn't matter which post on the distributor cap the rotor is pointing at. As long as you wire it starting with no. 1 from there, and wire the firing order from there it does not matter. If you can turn the dissy, far enough to get timing set properly, it does not matter which post on the cap you start with. You do not need to pull your dissy back out. Put your motor at TDC on the compression stroke, pull the cap off your dit. and see where it's pointed, and wire the ignition from there.

Do you have a solid lifter cam?
