I think it's all over now. last week I had trouble starting the elky but it ran fine once i got it started. then after it sat over night it was difficult to start again and while driving less than a mile it just up and died. again later it was difficult to crank but it did crank after about 45 mins of sitting. tried a few more times to get it to run and no joy. thinking my plugs were fouled from the months of running rich i changed them and found some burned plug wires on the manafold but they were already pulled out of the way and tied off. so i'm thinking that was old damage that i must have missed when i inspected them in febuary. anyway. new wires and plugs and i still can't get her to start right. i swear it sounds like she's only hitting on 4 cylinders and the week before all this happened we were tuning the carb to get max vac and the best at idle was 15 inches. I still got a few things to look into before i go getting crazy. so i'm going to start looking in a 5 state area nc, sc, ga, va, tn for a 350 thats in running shape.
things i'm going to look at this week/weekend
loose dist
ecm under dist though it's only a few months old.
spark at all plugs
compression at all cylinders
anything else to look at?
