The engine has not started since last week. I’m getting fuel to the carb. I swapped in a new HEI distributor, still getting spark but does not start.
At this point I was thinking the timing chain jumped, but why would it restart and run the first few times last week? When it restarted, the engine sounded fine, no no idle issues, no knocking, no surging, etc. before it finally stopped about a few miles down the road. At no time did it sputter to a stop, it just shut off, which initially had me thinking it was electrical.
