Nicks Garage, 572 HEMI, Here we go....

So, the video ends with no pulls and a diagnosis of, “needs new carbs”?

I usually ask the owner if they’re “sure” the distributor is in correctly.
Some say they don’t know, so I check it before trying to start the engine.
If they say it’s in correctly, but it doesn’t fire pretty much instantly…….I stop and verify it’s correct before going any further.
It was pretty obvious right from the rip. That first backfire was it for me.
