Need help. Car is turning, there is gas in the cylinders and spark, but its not starting. The motor is a 306, ported e7s, stock cam w/ 1.7s. Stock ignition for now but 6al ready to go in once we get it broken in. Any ideas??? We are charging the battery right now to see if thats the problem.

if you know for a fact that you have fuel and spark. I would then check your valve adjustment seeing as it is a new motor it could have been adjusted to tight where you leak compression out of the valve. Recheck valve adjustment to see if you dont have a valve that is slightly stuck open. You could also do a compression check and thatll tell you what suspected cylinder or cylinders you have. Good luck
