What gives? Is it the fuel system? Gas is definetly going into the carb (Rochester Q-Jet). I adjusted the bowl slightly to see if that would help. Pump works fine. On top of that, last time this happened, it was cranking and cranking and I let off the key and it kept cranking! I checked my starter solenoid to see if it was stuck and it looked great (and is <1 year old) so I don't think that's the problem. Could it be my ignition? Wiring? Ground? Battery? Thanks for any help you got!
