Question concerning motor just shutting down?
My kid bought his first drag truck. For last month been just running it in the shop waiting on April to drag. It was running and just shut off, just like you turned the key off. We are getting spark, put on new msd plug wires,dist cap etc. When try to start it all most will but backfires really really bad about 5th turnover. Seems plugs are wet to after a while of trying to start. We put in new plugs and drained the gas,it ran we took it for a spin and parked it in shop, wouldnt start again. also when it was runnig had to go into the pedal easy or it would spit and spudder.. Plugs look wet again.Put in new plugs again no help. Any ideas would be apprecated. Any drag racers that would be willing to help in my area would appreciate you looking at it. will pay you. 1969 chevy c10-454 motor- bored ten over - Demon 850 carb-msd ignition- etc :?: Champaign/urbana Illinois-area
