What do I do after rebuilding an engine? I bought a junkyard 350 Chevy (L31/Vortec 5700 specifically) to fix up in my spare time. Everything has been cleaned and checked for cracks and I'm ready to start putting new parts in. But then what? Say I prime the oil pump, run a fuel pump and line to some gas, open the carb, touch the starter leads to a battery, and the engine turns over but nothing happens. What do? I've never even touched a carburetor so I'll have no idea if the issue is a simple idle adjust screw or a dozen other things.

Is there a book or some resource with a pre-startup checklist, and troubleshooting guide?
