350, punched 30, crane cam, weiand (sp.) team g intake, 87-up heads (center bolt heads not exactly sure of year) ported, polished, all the goodies, accel hei distributor with all the accel goodies, edelbrock timing set, ngk plugs, accel wires, and this "old" edelbrock 750 carb.
i dont know, maybe its just getting old, somtimes it'll idle right, sometimes it'll idle to high, sometimes it wont idle at all. somties it'll run lean, somti4ms it'll run rich. i've had this thing adjusted so many times its not funny anymore and everytime it gets set right, about two days later the problems are back. everything else on the engine checks out great. and i'm not lookin for a streetable carbso to say. yes this is truck i drive all the time but i'm lookin for that pep and performance like i did with my holley's in the past. i can adjust holleys just fine so the adjustablility of the holley's i like better too. you can more finly tune a holley then you can an edelbrock. and not really at the mileage aspect of it, i never intended to get good gas mileage with this project anyways. i built it for the performance aspect and not economy, dont get me wrong, good power and good mileage is always a plus, i just want to get ever little bit of performance out of this engine as i can before swapping in the crank to make it a 383...that'll happen when i get a good set of aluminum heads for it. or a good set of aftermarket cast heads seeing how i'll be in the mudd and water alot.
