750 Edelbrock issue

I did. It was a bunch of gunk from the tank pumped through. fouled plugs etc. I replaced plugs ,opened carb and cleaned out got it back up and going. I just had it running the other night and it was a "cold start" in the 40s here in Pa. Once I got gas pumped up through the lines it started up. The car is going back together so it doesnt get started every day

Very good. I just rebuilt one of these and the varnish from the old gas had plugged some of the holes in the primary venturi secondairys. After poking them with wire and spraying carb cleaner through then I put a rebuild kit in it with orange stepper rod springs and rejetted it for my elevation. A lot of these carbs come set up to run way lean and run like crap till you put the orange spring in and stepper rods for your elevation. I ended up with 9 sets of stepper rods before settling on the ones that get the best cruise mileage but have zero hesitation and run hard.
