Andre,

Scott is correct. Check the timing first. The FE engine is very simple. Pull the top front plastic cover off the Cam gear. Turn the engine over by hand with battery disconnected. This will prevent any chance the engine will start. Find either the letter A or the number one on the front of the timing gear and align with the top notch in the front aluminum cover. Now check the engine pulley and make sure the mark is aligned with TDC, top dead center mark. You can remove the number one plug and put a screwdriver in the cylinder. Turn the crankshaft and make sure the number one piston is at the top of its stroke. Remove the distributor cap and make sure the rotor is pointing at number one spark plug wire. If the timing is off at any point, start there first. Good Luck
