Ford 94 Carburetor Rebuild
Hello all,
I spent the summer working (not fun) rewiring my 1970 VW Bus (fun) and racing my 2006 Chev Impala (most fun) but now with fall in full swing, it is time to get back to the F-60S. I have spark and some compression, I now need fuel and air so the Ford 94 carburetor is being rebuilt, thanks to Ecklers.

Fuel, compression, spark - no bang!
Well, with one less distraction (sold the VW Bus) and our first race not until later next month, I now need to get the F60S running. I have rebuilt the carburetor and I have rebuilt the distributor. I have used a timing fixture to adjust the point and the advance. I have spark, I have fuel and I have compression. Unfortunately, I am not getting combustion. A friend dropped by with a PECO system and we were able to capture TDC and spark timing, it seems that my "spark" is happening after TDC, on the downstroke. According to everything I have seen and read, I need to be about 5 degrees before TDC. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I need to do to get this 42 flathead 8 to pop, bang and run?
Do I need to plug those vacuum lines at the bottom of the carburetor to improve draw into the intake?
