Hello all, I have a 360 in a 73 scamp. I pulled the motor from a 1978 1-ton passenger van along with the 727. I installed an air gap intake, headman headers, MSD 6AL, new distributor, cap, rotor, plugs, plug wires, and a new quick fuel 600cfm carb with vacuum secondaries. The timing is set at 12 degrees at an idle, not sure what it advances to but its a stock distributor. It runs great when cruising around. Off of an idle, or when RPMs are low (when driving highway speeds) and i floor it there is a stumble and hesitation that I cant seem to figure out. It had the exact same issue with the 600 holley 4160 i took off, I also replaced the distributor, plugs, cap, rotor, and tried both MSD 6als I had laying around (one is the non digital and the one thats on there now is the new digital style). The van I pulled the engine from seemed to have the same issue and I thought going from the stock 2 barrel to the new airgap and carb would fix it but it's still happening. Im lost!
