It was the carb. Thanks for all the help, very much appreciated, thank you! Wound up borrowing a 750 of a friends big block brand x and it fired right up into a slow idle and runs like it should, considering it is too much carb for it.

I did get the check balls and needles back in correctly, float levels were set correctly. Battery is new, and i have checked the voltage at the battery and at the coil, and at the ballast resistor, and all voltages check like there supposed too. The fuel pump is older then the motor...

Gets plenty of gas, Fuel filter is full and stays that way Accelerator pump is new and works well Checked every where and havnt found a vacuum leak Fuel filter is new Gas is new (tank was cleaned out) Carb has been rebuilt...but it was rebuilt by me, who is to say the least rusty at it. so...

Squirting just a mist of starting fluid at it when its about to die brings it back to life. The timing light flashes, albeit erratically, right up until the engine dies. If my slow brain is putting together what your getting at, i need to take another look at the carb....yes?....

I couldn't find the timing at idle, especially since it runs for about 2 seconds at idle then dies. Any suggestions on how i could do that? Like i said, its been a very long time since i have messed with timing.

It runs smooth at high idle. I just checked the timing, and it is set at 35 degrees total advance. Still does the same, when adjusting the idle screw down to bring the motor down to idle, it chokes out and dies, but give it just a touch of throttle and it revs up nicely. One thing i...

When i adjust the idle screw down it just chokes out and dies. It does not have an EGR valve. I am in the midst of trying to check the timing, but its been a while (about 8 years) since i have checked or changed the timing on anything. So i am researching that and i will let you know how that goes.

I havnt, the reason being that i know it hasn't been touched since it was last driven, and the funky setup that the power steering pump has, i have to remove the pump to see the timing marks....

I know there are many threads about this, and i feel like i have read them all and tried everything. So bear with me, and i apologize for yet another "my small block wont idle" thread. So here is what i have and what i have done. 318 with electronic ignition, 3/4 cam, 360 heads, weiand...
