Re: 1966 C10 LB with '69 Small Block?

Just because the distributor dropped right in doesn’t mean it’s timed right.
#1 is on tdc twice in the cycle. You need to be on tdc compression to start.

You should treat the motor like it’s fresh. Set it up to fire right away at 1500 rpm. You need lots of rpm to properly lube the cam and lifters. They get their lubrication from oil splash.
Keep us posted as you go along.
