    Good day all,

    I am looking for some sanity checking. I picked up and have been working on a 1963 Chevy c20 with has TargetMaster 350 (engine ID VK012800). I had it "running" and driving with what I found on it. I went about rewiring the harness and rebuilt the Holley Carb (LIST-3310-3). I am now stuck with the engine firing up, but stalling instantly once the key is released from crank to run. I am unsure what is causing the issues now. Also I am using a remote starter solenoid. I appreciate the help.

    -John

    You are missing the ignition feed from the ignition switch or you have a bad switch.

    Are you using a stock dist. or an HEI big cap dist ? Either way you don't have voltage when you release the key to the on position. A test light will confirm your problem. If it is a stock GM crate motor. That 3310 might be a little big for that low compression stock cam engine. Just a thought.
