got the timing marker to line up, pulled the dist, and dropped it back correctly.
Connected it all back up.
Checked for spark again.
Fuel spits upwards out of the carb. WTF.

dude... something is wrong with the valve timing.. i was thinking about it last night.. only way for that gas to force upwards is if the intake valve is open on the upward stroke of hte piston... did you ever have that came or timing set out since the last time it ran... btw next time we gotta do it before 6pm... no light doesnt really help when working...

Gas spitting out sounds like a sunk float in the carb. Probably need to pull the carb and clean it out good and check the needle and seat for debris flooding it out. And check the float to make sure it's not full of fuel.

Will do Jeff.
Gas is fresh...as already been said
Nothing should ahve changed reguarding cam timing. Only thing that is different from the last time it started is a new intake.
BTW, its an Ede 600CFM w/ electric choke. Gunna have to tear down the carb I guess...bah

yea im part of the new age and dont know much about carbs.... but that was an awful lot of gas shooting upwards out of the carb... almost like the exhaust was completely blocked off and the gas had no where else to shoot but up back through the carb.... its deff a weird one to say the least...

Ok it runs! Like a champ too. It was another 180* off. We dropped it down and started right up without fuss. And it runs much smoother then it ever has. I was impressed actually.
Thanks to Brandon for helping me out.

I think everybody has to do the out 180 with the distributor at least once in their life!  Good to hear it's back up and running.

Yeah, really. I did it with the distributor right and the plug wires 180* off from my markings. That's where the real talent comes in
