Engine won't stay running???
Well, I got the engine in except I can't hook up the exhaust until I get the pipes spread from 2" to 2.5", but when I start it, it dies as soon as you let go of the key? Any suggestions?

Well, I figured it out. I had done some wire splicing, and gotten two wires mixed up. They were both red and one had a blue strip and one was green. It was really hard to distinguish between them. Thanks for all the help!!

The wires going to the distributer. I needed to fix them, and I got the red/blue and red/green backwards. When the key was in start, it was getting power to the coil, but when it went to run, it all disappeared.
