351W Questions and Problems

1983 Bronco
351W
I have replaced the coil, wires, distributer cap and rotor, and the spark plugs. Removed varible venturi carb and put on a older 2 barrel carb from a 91' f-350 with a 351W. All I'm getting it 12 gauge gun shot gun blasts from the engine once every 30 15 seconds. What should I try and do? Is my timing off? It could be....... But would that prevent the engine from running NOT at all?? I was told there was a pick up coil and after taking the bottom on the distributer apart I found NO "pick-up" coil. I have NO vacum advance on the distbuter, When I bought the bronc a few hoses are plugeed here and there with screws, nothing out of the ordinary for an old vehical. What vital things am i missing? Getting good spurts of fuel from the pump when turrning the engine over. Step by step process? Thanks guys!

#1 - Make sure the timing is set.

If that's good:\
check the compression to see if valves are seating.
Or check firing order.
Or see if the carb's seated to the manifold

sounds like you might have mis-placed one of the wires. If you have a VV carb, You probably have that weird DS3 distributor, and the wires are all different from a regular Ds2
