If it's really air in the lines it will take two people to bleed it out, and if you're not careful you can make the problem even worse. You will need a bucket, a rag, and a small wrench (usually 3/8 or 7/16, and a box wrench works best). The lucky person needs to pump the brake pedal several times until the brakes are rock hard. Then the unlucky person needs to open the small bleeder valve of the back of a wheel (near where the brake line enters the wheel) and let the combination of air and brake fluid spray out - hopefully into the bucket. Once the pedal hits the floor, tighten the valve. Repeat this process two or three times on each wheel, or until the flow is all fluid - no air, making sure that the bleeder valve is retightened each time before the brake pedal is released. If the pedal is released with the valve open, air will be sucked into brake system, making the problem even worse. Oh yeah, the rag is for the brake fluid that misses the bucket and ends up all over the pavement and the guy working the bleeder valves.

Which engine? Not knowing that, you may need to turn engine over to get the cam up, there will be some tension to start the bolts in.

make sure you have the distributor install in the right position,

Check cable for corrosion or signs of heat.Check voltage to starter. Most likley a starter but don't overlook the basics like is the engine seized or is there a loose/bad connector to engine ground.

Your alternator maybe failing or your battery. You can have both checked at Auto Zone/Schuck's/NAPA/Chieif's for free.

You can't beat FREE!!!

Not for that year. What's your problem I can help with?

your have a wire shorting out, check the hot wire to the starter you replaced, chances are there is a bare spot on the wire and is grounding against the motor block

sounds like your timing is off and or fuel filter is clogged

the gauge is going bad or a bad connection to the gauge! a sure way to find out is put a meter on the alt. and the battery when the gauge reads low and see what the actual volts are and if there high 13's and low 14vdc then you know the alt. is doing it's job and the gauge is bad! good luck

undo the tbar and see if the pin is moving

There should be a screw which hits a stopper, where the throttle cable joins to the carby. Turn that in for more, out for less revs.

no it shouldnt.. thats a sign of blowby... engine needs rebuilt...
