Re: [Chrysler300] 57 300 hemi

I would agree with others that plugs could be fouled.  Even though new and
gapped properly, you could have fouled them in your starting attempts.  I
would pull a couple of them anyway just to see if they are covered with
fuel(or smell as such) to assure that  you are getting gas.  No cracks in
distributor cap or rotor problem?  No excess oil in cylinders from someone
years ago placing oil there in prep for long term storage?  How many years
old is the gasoline?

most likely hasn't been started since the 70's. The engine is in time,has
good spark, is getting fuel--firing order is correct----points are set
right,new plugs are gaped right----after I was unsuccessful in starting
engine, I had two good Mopar engine guys to check everything and they also
say motor should run-----Compression ='s
90---140---120---110---80---60---60---150----I oiled cylinders,turned motor
over----cleaned plugs-----motor turns fast enough to start-----I put a
jumper on it and ran it fast several times but it acts like it wants to
start----sometimes---but never will. Any suggestions before I tear it
down--Johnnie Slayton
