Hello,
Was hoping to get some help. Have a 73 monte carlo with a 350. Car ran great but wanted a little more power to motivate the beast. Swap included edelbrock performer intake, edelbrock cam, edelbrock carb. roller tip rockers. The car starts fine and idles fine. Put it in gear and it wants to stall and idles very rough. Also had no low end power but seems to run well once you wind it up. I was afraid I put the timing chain on a tooth off, opened it up and it looks fine. (edlelbrock 7800 lined up 0's). The timing is set at 12 btdc. I've moved the timing all over the place. I think it's a vacuum leak, however I sprayed it with carb cleaner and the engine didn't change. I don't hear one either. Only thing I can think is maybe put it in gear with the emergency brake on and spray the intake and carb????? Also have adjusted the mixture screws and makes no difference. Thanks in advance.
