I have a beastly 71 k5 blazer with a new crate 350 in it because the old one blew. But the girl i got it from let it sit for 5 years after putting the motor in. It ran before but didnt pass emmissions so i rebuilt the carb blew out the gas lines and tried to start it. I was not surprised when it didnt turn over but now i need some help. what should i be doing to get this monster back on the road? Please help me.

Ok i removed the plugs and put some mmo in the holes, ill let it soak in and try to turn it by hand. Hopefully this works.

I noticed wet gas on the plugs, i believe from when i tried to prime the carb to start it. shouldi let it dry out before putting the mmo in it?

Well the motor is turning pretty freely so i am safe there for now but i found why shes not starting for at least one reason. NO SPARK :( There was nothing even at the distributer which is an efi and fairly new. I am noticing wires to my lights are completely rotted and fell apart so i am hoping to find some bad wires leading to the distributer. Is this a good possibility or am i looking at a costly replacement of the distributer i have in there now?
