Re: SoCal checkin' in
I'm having similar troubles with mine. About two months or so ago I replaced the fuel pump, carb (Edelbrock 1405), fuel filter and air cleaner, plugs, wires, cap/rotor. Ran solid after up until about a week ago. Rough idle when in drive/reverse (running right around 650 rpm in drive). Sluggish acceleration but once going it runs strong.
I replaced the fuel filter but no change. Pulled the idle screws and blew everything out but I'm thinking I'm going to have to pull the carb apart and clean it completely out. I can't find any vacuum leaks. |

Thats a timing issue. Could be your vacuum advance. I had to go with an adjustable vacuum advance to correct my timing issues. |

Re: SoCal checkin' in
It's possible that either the cam and crank gears are not lined up, dot to dot or the distributor gear is off the cam gear by a tooth. Just a thought(s)
