The first place to look is a vacuum leak, like a bad carb. to intake gasket or disconnected/ cracked hose, or even a faulty pcv valve.
I just rebuilt my Edelbrock 1405 Preformer carb. During the rebuild once I had the carb almost completely dissassembled I removed all four jets and replaced them with new ones from the kit.
Yes it will just be sure you use the wright carb. base gasket.
If you look on the foot brake side, just where the cable meets the carb, there is a screw a little further in, that will adjust the idle. Use a long screw driver.
I assume it has carb's. If so, follow the cable to the carb's. There is a little screw you can tighten to increase the idle or lower it. Just a long screwdriver and watch the tach.
i used a holly 500cfm two barrel carb on mine and it worked just as well as a 4 barrel i used a holly 500cfm two barrel carb on mine and it worked just as well as a 4 barrel
there is a nob on the carb just play with it until you get it adjusted
on my 87 Chevy caprice just happen today, my car would idle for a while then die. Turns up my carb was bad. Changed the carb, ran like new again.
With the mods you describe I would suggest you start at about 10 to 12 degrees btdc. you may have to play with it to get it just the way you like it. Hope this helps. Mike
Im gonna say it will be fine, I have a 84 with a 307, just got a performer 600 carb with the 2711 performer intake! You should be good to go, its when you go higher. Although, they say dont go any higher than a 600 on a stock 350 olds :/
It is the small screw on the same side of the carburetor that the choke is on. It is just above where the bowl meets the carb.
I am having the same problem. Did you figure it out? I think it might be in the air adjustment. I just haven't tried it yet.
It sounds like your timing is retarded. Advance the timing just a bit and try it, repeat and try it till it starts. Better yet get it timed.
