V8 swap transfer case question


Alright,
We wrenched all day and the truck is back together but will not seem to fire over. It's trying to start but won't catch. Verified the rotor is hitting no 1 on the compression stroke and the distro has not been disturbed since this motor was running in the donor. it has been a while since she was fired though. This motor has a an MSD 6AL ignition system and Accell distro. The motor ran strong before it was pulled for this project. We are getting gas to the carb but the engine just won't seemo catch. Pulled all the plugs and verified the gap and found that 4 and 5 seemed to be the only ones without raw gas on them. I know it has to bee something simple but I am rather tired and cannot seem to locate the problem. Any help?
 
Wild ass guess #1...... firing order..... probably already checked but still my guess :icon_confused: is it a 302 or a 351W/5.0HO firing order?
Wild ass guess #2......... are the plugs actually firing? Maybe dead plugs/wires/cap/rotor.......
Wild ass guess #3.......... MSD box, can't say I am personally a big fan of them they have been known to fail, well at least on me :-)
 
Also check the firing order to make sure its ccw and not cw...
