Super88

1988 5.0 wont start. Its converted to carb with a barry grant speed demon 650 carb. brand new MSD 6AL digital ignition. its getting fuel to the carb, i can see it and smell it. it occasionally backfires through the carb, but when i pull the spark plugs they are completely dry. what could be causing this?

mustangsneverdie

sounds to me like the timing is off. re-establish tdc and try again
