'82 CJ7 with AMC 360 (never rebuilt, YET). I replaced the timing chain with a edelbrock one, installed a edelbrock 4 barrel intake and 600 cfm carb (from a stock 2 barrel intake/carb). I already had a MSD ignition box, distribitor, and coil that worked for the last 2 years and I didn't disturb the wiring. I matched the dots before and after removing/installing the chain. I pulled the No. 1 plug and made sure that it was at TDC with a stick. I set the distribitor from that facing no 1 port on the cap. I cranked it over and it will start to fire up sometimes but then dies and only with the starter. I have burnt out 1 starter and killed 2 batteries so far. I have pulled all they spark plugs and cranked it over just fine with the starter but it is really fighting with the in. What can I do now???? Or is anyone around or know a moblie mechanic in the Mesa, AZ area that can help???
My Wife is getting pissed because I'm suppose to be on vacation with the family instead of with the Mistress (it's what she calls the jeep).
