AMC QJ problems
Hello,
I have an AMC 360 engine with a QJ. The engine will only idle with the idle screw all the way in, starting to run on the primaries.
The engine has 9.6:1 compression and a Lunati Voodoo 262/268 cam, as well as a quadrajet. The carb I rebuilt myself (first time, so I may have messed something up), number 17058253, which does not have idle air bypass. I started with the idle screws one turn out and turned them 1/2 turn at the time, with no results. Timing is 20deg initial, 35 total. When I rebuilt the carb, I blew compressed air through the idle circuit and everything seemed clear.
I have the same cam in an Olds 455 and it idles quite nicely, with a slight lope.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.
Mikel
