How far down the street did you make it? Also, did you run this before you drove? (Set timing, top off coolant, etc) did you convert from a mechanical fuel pump to an electric? Need the details on your build in order to help. Whats compression? Distributor/coil setup. Have you check for fuel, and spark since it died? What do you have for advance? Vacuum, mechanical?
