I had the same problem and was worried to death. I tried to correct the problem myself and couldn't figure it out. I go to a friend of mine who is a mechanic he pops the hood, reaches down the side of the motor, pulls a small rubber tube up, hooks it to the carb, and my 350 was burning rubber out of his lot. Apparently a vacum tube to the carb had fallen off and fell down the side of the motor. I felt stupid for missing it but there it was. Check that you don't have a tube off.
