Engine starting problem...octane?

By Katauskas - 05/02/2001 11:30:43 AM; IP 206.175.67.72

Having a problem starting the virgin 428. It will run for about 5 seconds then quit.
I've got 6psi of fuel at the carb, spark plugs gaps are .040. The carb isn't puking flames, so it probably isn't a timing issue. I'm currently running 93 octane.
Can this a tuning problem with the carb (Holley 750dp) or an octane problem (93), or something else?
If you need more info, just ask. I've got plenty of it. :)

This thread, so far...
