Edelbrock Fireball!!!

no offense but maybe you would be better off letting a mechanic take a look at it......just saying, anyone who thinks a wide open vacuum is OK ....should not be working on a car.

but everyone has to learn some way or another.

was this carb a new carb? or was it a rebuild? , do you know if it works for sure? or did you get it from a guy who got it from a guy who got it from a guy that bought it new 6 years ago and has been on a shelf since? lol

that edelbrock-holley debate is played out....both make good components.....both have vacuum ports .......a holley will not work properly with a wide open vacuum port just the same as an edelbrock.

good luck figuring it out....sounds like maybe a bum carb or bad timing ....your probably sitting 180 out
