Adventuredude Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 Just pulled the 6 out of the newly purchased 1954 Plymouth Savoy and replaced the main seal. The car is now difficult to start and when finally runs it sputters doesnt rev up exc then dies .What could be wrong typically after pulling the motor and putting it back in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kencombs Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 I'd look first at timing and distributor cap. Real easy to bump and move the first and crack the second while installing an engine. DAMHIKT Next would be look for unconnected vacuum lines. Then check fuel delivery, line sucking air at the pump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belvedere Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 I’m thinking along the same lines as Ken. Hard starting and won’t rev could sure be timing and/or weak spark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Hiebert Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 Ditto above, with addition to ensure good grounds for electrical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
