tryin to break in new engine, ruff idle

Thanks so much for stayin with me dodgefreak and txdart! I really really value your advice. Bein that its 4th of July today, I am planning for 1 hr only working on my car. The rest of the day and eve, I need to spend with my family, even though my mopar beckons.

I'm gonna try a couple of your suggestions: will run motor with timing light facing my windshield so I can see it and my tach at the same time. Will finish breaking in the cam (I've already got about 15 min run time on it, so I'll do 15 more). Will try holding carb closed off instead of letting the choke turn the flap completely vertical.

PS - I've already ordered the holley rebuild kit from summit, but probly wont get it until wed.

Will keep you posted with the results. Thanks thanks thanks!
