I have a olds 350 in my 77 regal and I am having a problem with idle,I changed the carb because that was the problem before,at first I thought I had bad gas because it idles rough now its starving for gas ,I had to tape the choke almost closed to make it home and changed the carb but its the same, also there is blow-by that I never saw before,I changed the module,cap,rotor,plugs but it sounds like its starving for gas,if I close the choke alittle it runs smooth,also turning the idle screw up didn't work. Is the choke suppose to be all the way open when it warms up?also I turn the distributer alttle and it breaks the tires loose then stalls HELP ME PLEASE  <hr></blockquote>
Won’t idle, brake pedal effort is high, up shift is harsh
It sounds like you have a major vacuum leak.
Have you checked for a leak? Check the hoses, EGR Valve and PCV Valve. Make sure you have all of the hoses hooked up. If you have a replacement carburetor there may have been more ports on the carb than you needed. Make sure you have any un needed ports plugged. Check the base plate gasket for leaks.
