Default Trouble after cam install

OK - I installed a new cam, Pulley, FAST 90mm intake, Yella Terra Rockers, Kook's longtubes. I waited to re-install the rack and all the other acc. until after I got it all started and all the bugs worked out (just in case). The car will turn over and then it will start for a split second and then die right back out. I tried like 20 times to start it but, It just sputters back out.

Anybody got any ideas or sugesstions.

The car has not been tuned yet but I just want to start it to make sure everything is good - it is a manual (six speed) just so you know

I had all the wires to the side when I installed the intake. I will check that. I put new plugs and wires on also. Taylor 10.4 and NGK TR55. Gap @ .55. I dont think there are any lines under the intake. Is the can sensor the one on the Valley cover at the back of the intake ?

Sounds like a bad ground. Did you get the one on the back of the drivers side head??

If you have adjustable rockers, make sure the valves are not adjusted to tight. If the valves are hanging open, it will never start. You can verify this with a cylinder pressure gauge.

I figured it out. It appears the FAST extension was wired wrong. After matching the wires up I modified the connector and - ZOOM. She fired right up
