Thanks for the direction above. One more quick question but I think I need to start a new thread on fuel delivery. But real quick I got the wire on the BAT post and saw it clearly marked on the distributor so I think I was just too frustrated last night to see it. My battery cable was then loose so I wasn't getting juice, tightened that. Now it will crank just fine but I'm not getting fuel at the carburetor. Is there any way I could have messed something up related to that? Maybe a vacuum hose I'm missing? I don't see any wires heading back to the tank I could have loosened changing plug wires and distributor cap. I think the answer is it's just a coincidence and I just need to get a fuel pump.

It's a 78 350 Quadrajet though I can't be sure of the year of the engine.
