340 slight dieseling when hot and hard start

sorry.. duh lol. it will crank forever before firing. I have a good batt and a mini starter also. cant idle any lower (about 500 rpm in gear, 6-700 in neutral).

I was planning on seafoaming it (full treatment). I thought about the fuel being boring as well...

good idea 95teetee lol.

no idea on temp. stock gauge only. BELOW the middle of the factory gauge... lol.

no idea on the timing now, no way to check it at the moment (dont have my tools, may buy one). what should I set it at?? has all stock ignition.... no idea on the curve, does have vacuum advance.

Should I put insulation of some sort over the fuel line? it runs right on top of the block/manifold.
