I am posting a new thread because I am convinced my issue is not fuel related as originally believed. So far, I have changed carbs three times. I put in a brand new distributor. I have a resistor that is one year old and tried two different coils. It also has a one year old orange box. No matter how I set the timing the 340 dies immediately if I don't constantly give it gas by working the throttle. She will start and run and can even be driven as long as I don't quit massaging the throttle. I put on a new carb base gasket as well. I did get a couple of small pops out of the carb, but nothing big. I checked all electrical connections, but haven't found anything out of the ordinary. Fuel pressure is a steady 8lbs out of Holley regulator and blue pump. I'm at my wits end here. The only things I haven't done is changed the intake gaskets or tried a new resistor. Please help.
