Hello All. I have done a fresh rebuild on my 258 and now am trying to get it started up. I have added a Howell TBI kit and a HEI by DUI. When i try to start the jeep it cranks over but never fires up. I am getting fuel to the tbi and timing is right. I am thinking that it could be the HEI because on cranking i am getting 9.5V. I believe that HEI needs a minimum of 10.5V. If this is the case how would I get more cranking voltage?
