bringing a '61 apache panel back to life - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Struggling a bit here and could use some pointers. Believe everything is stock here - 235. Got this and the head was off and the cam was out with a new alloy timing gear on it. (old Timing gear busted) Looks to have had the timing gear on the crack replaced as well. Had no timing mark.

THe old timing gear mark was 4 teeth over from the chuck as well as every picture I saw. so we slid the cam gear into that slot.

We got it back together, have spark but can't get it to catch using started fluid. New plugs and wires. Firing order is right. Set my valves cold at .2 and .08.

Any thoughts?
