305 running like crap!!!
OK, first off, I'm new here, so hi all. I have an 84 Chevy with a 305 CI. just got it a month agoe, used it a little here and there but not lots. today I took it out on the highway for a cruise, and it was awesome to open her up, but when I stop, it idles real slow, and then stalls (new to this truck). to restart it I had to floor the gas as if it was flooded. I thought I did a good job "unflooding" it, but whenever I stopped, it stalled. everytime I restart it, there is a black smoke and a real bad smell, kinda like carbon, if I were to guess. any suggestions as to what is wrong???? PLEASE help!!!. I need this as my transportation
I did look, spark plugs are black, but is that reallly the problem, could it be the carb, heads??? intake??? I am grasping here....Thanks for help in advance....could it be the exhaust??????
I think it may be the spark plugs got fouled when I opend up the 4bbl, now they undercombust...but is that the cause of bad idleing too?????
