Thats what I've been saying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AND GEORGE YOU TOLD ME IT DIES, BUT THEN A COUPLE OF POSTS BACK YOU SAY IT JUST LOWERS RPM!
NOW I LOOK AT YOUR PLUGS ALONG WITH YOUR LAST STATEMENT AND SEE THAT YOU PROBABLY HAVE A BAD VACUUM LEAK ON 4 THROUGH 8.

AND YOUR RUNNING 87 GUTTER WATER??
DUDER COME ON?????????? [not pissed, just stunned]

No, I didn't.
WITH THE AVS CARB, and BEFORE I REMOVED THE LEAD PLUGS, if I covered the carb, the idle speed would go UP some. Once I removed the plugs and adjusted the carb, if I cover the carb, the car will die. There are no vacuum leaks.
Since I did this, I swapped out the AVS for the Eddy carb.

I have been using 87 octane in all my Vettes and they ran well, so thats why I put 87 in the Dart.
Higher octane fuel will help with the ping, but I don't see how that would cause the car to pop through the carb.
