Getting this ol' 73 gt to start
So, my dad and I are trying to get this dang old car to start. We just replaced the condencer, since the old one was crap, and got it to crank over.....and over and over. Just no start. I have a few questions for you guys.
1. On this Solex carb there are two ports I guess for an "A.I.R." system which were used in 68-69. I have the 1973 do I need to plug these up?
2. What is the order of the pistons. Like is #1 in the back or the front of the engines. I guess just which plug wires go to which plugs? And the firing system is 1-4-3-2 right?
3. Another carb question, there are three places for hoses on the back side of the carb, where do they go to if they do go some where?
4. The main problem is that the spark plugs are not wet after trying to start it, so there is no gas going to the engine. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks for all the help.
