Holley help.

Well I got it running. It was either crap in the carb or a bad base plate gasket. I pulled it apart sprayed it down and put it back together.

It idles at 900rpm but when I would drop it in to gear the rpms would drop way down and it would stll. I raised the idle up to about 1200 (not really an idle anymore) and dropping it in get it would drop down to 800.

I figured that sounded more like a timing issue so I swapped in my FBO stage 2 dist and coil. Set the timing at 34* @ 3000rpm were Don told me to. Checked the initial and it was at 18 just were he said it should be. Thanks Don !

Fire the car back up 800 rpm idle in park and 750 in gear. Perfect.

Now I just need to figure 3 things out.

1. The driver side air mixture screw doesnt do anything. Even if its turned all the way in. Passenger side works fine. Pulled the screw out and sprayed some carb cleaner in it. No differance.

2. Nasty stumble between idle and about 2000 rpms. It wants to die if you rev it. Over 2000 rpms no stumble.

3. part throttle seems a bit rough. While timing the car I had it set at 3000 rpms sounded like it was surging.

Any ideas?
