A bit of flooding/ backfiring will do it. Now that you've got the wires in order you can check for vacuum leaks, adjust the timing, and tweak the carb if necessary.
BUILD THREAD 78 Malibu 350 rocket build kind of

I had to swap out the Eddy 600 with the 750 I use as a door stop.
I think someone managed to bang the check ball under neath of the nozzle into the hole on the 600. The jet nozzle keeps working only on and off

Finally. After 4 months I got to drive this thing around the block.
This motor is actually pretty stout for low compression nonsense. No smoke or weird noises or blow by. All and all it seems like it's going to be a good cruiser.

Hell yeah! I'll have to get that afterwork today. That motor can really build some torque for just 300. I'm guessing it has a tad more since a cutlass is significantly heavier.
But hey thank y'all for enduring the fever dream.
Interesting engine swap. Better than an LS. Not that it's a bad engine, it's just that I think there's more LS engines in G-bodies now than their original V8s. I exaggerate to clarify.
I've been looking around the Cincy area for other 4 doors in case I need parts. I guess they just aren't as sought after like the 2 door.
Now with the motor I got it and the trans for free I wanted a good daily driver cruiser and a road trip vehicle.
