Red face Put the new StreetPort engine in....

Good compression (around 90psi on all 3 faces on both rotors)
Good spark (stock ignition for now, have DLFISDISDDS ready but making some nice mounts first)

Got a new 45dcoe and lake city true side manifold

car wont start. though i believe its the carb. i need to rebuild it and clean it.

these are recommended specs ive found for street port 45s

>recommended
40mm Chokes
4.5 Auxiliary Venturies
Accelerator Pump Jet 50
Emulsion Tubes F11
Idle Jets 60F9
Main Jets 200
Air Corrector 180
Fuel Pressure 3.0psi


>mine (what i read, still gotta take it apart for more info)
36mm chokes
??? Auxiliary Venturies
Accelerator pump Jet 60
Emulsion Tubes F16
Idle Jets 50F9
Main Jets 150
Air Corrector 170
Fuel Pressure 2.5psi (though will set to 3)
also has plastic floats (cant remember if thats new or old, wanna say new)


gonna rebuild and add these (since they are cheap)

then get a battery booster (50amp engine starter) and see about starting it again.

i stabbed the dizzy at TDC on leading (like a tutorial said) after i added new timing marks. so i think if restab it making sure its on the right tooth and rebuild the carb it should be good (also gonna take the starter off and test it)

i cant wait.
