Andy,

This may sound kind of stupid, put are you absolutely sure you have the
plug wires in the right order on the distributor? Have you checked
whether the wires are properly seated on the cap and the plugs?

You can buy a cheap mini neon ignition light that will glow when the
wire is seeing current flowing, to be sure there are no breaks. It looks
like a short, fat pencil with an aluminum tip that has a half recess for
the wire, and a small neon bulb visible through a slot in the insulated "pen".

Sometimes it's the simplest things.

What did you do about the PCV valve hose connection and the carb, as
there is no port on the Holley 465 1848-1? This could lead to a bad
running car.
