What was the other job you were working on?? Did you have the distributor out? The pushrod is driven by the the same gear as distributor. Is the distributor turning?

Not sure if the distributor is turning now, but I do know that it worked fine just after I had fixed the other problems.

It had been running rough, poor timing, really loose valve, fast idle (as much as 1600, once), and a few carburetor problems. I didn't have the distributor out for any of that, as far as I can remember; I might not be remembering right, though.

I got all that other stuff smoothed out, replaced some seals and such, got it timed right (I -had- been turning it the wrong way!), and everything seemed fine, but now no fuel is getting to the carb.
