L28 swap wont start

Recommended Posts

just put the L28 in my 71Z and it wont start. i have full charge on battery, SUs, mostly stock.

 

when i tried to start it the first time it ran for about 2 seconds then shut off. now when i turn the key the starter just clicks. i thought it was a fuel problem but there is fuel in the lines. i tapped in a fuel gauge next to #1 SU and tried to start it but the gauge did not move. when i checked the line there was fuel in it.

 

i put the L24 distributor on it but still have the one from the L28. i didnt know how to wire the coil to the plug outlet on the side of that dist.

 

any suggestions? check fuel again? check spark? thanks for any help

I got it started now it idles really high. around 2400-3600. i have loosened all the screws on the throttle linkage that might hold the gas open and have loosened the choke cables all the way. i moved the distributor to try and change the timing but still at 2400 at the second mark of the R.

what is going on?
