"I just dropped in a new long
"I just dropped in a new long block from Jasper motors. It's a 1991 model 4.3L V6 Merc. It has thunderbolt electronic ignition.
Engine won't start. It seems to get close (fires a bit and backfires / spits fuel up carb). I tried rotating distributor to and fro. Verified fuel entering carb, and I tried starting fluid. Verified spark. Rotor aligned w/ #1 wire with timing mark at 0 deg TDC.
I tried 180 deg distributor rotation but didn't even seem to fire.
Help please. Ideas on where to continue?"
