Hi Guys,
I've changed too many things to back track and pinpoint the problem. Thought someone might have a handle on what's going on with my 350. Ok, so it has an edelbrock dual plane intake and rpm camshaft and was running with a #1406 600 cfm edelbrock carb. Gave carb to my son and rebuilt and put back the matching 750 QJet. Ran good but not like a runner more like a cruiser. Started to mess with timing curve/ and vacuum canister. Put on another Edelbrock 600 cfm that I had lying around and rebuilt and inspected it. She idles good but wants to stall when put in gear. I've reset timing, changed vacuum canister, changed metering rods and springs, and nothing works. Wondering if I have a vacuum leak at the rear edge of the intake manifold and block? Would rather not have to pull the intake off if it doesnt leak. Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks,
