There is something wrong, that thing should run better than the 360.
1. Sounds to me like a combination of timing, choke adjustment, and most importantly vacuum leak.
My guess is its an intake gasket leak, probably when they were setting the heavy intake down. One way you can check this, when it is idling, cup your hands over the carb, if it idles up, its got a leak.
Be careful and if you are the kind of guy who may get a tie or finger caught, dont do it. I'd bet dollars to donuts you are only making power on 6 cylinders due to a vacuum leak
When you fix that, it'll probably idle right, then set the timing to 10 BTDC degrees for a good rule of thumb. |
