71 340's had a aluminum spacer plater under the carb about 1/4". Why is your air cleaner hitting the pad? Is the engine 100% stock? Might be a fuel pump or filter, where is the initial timing set at?




My bad, may car was restored to look stock. In reality it has a 72 block and I believe a 73 spread bore intake with a 74 TQ. No spacer in there now. I think the timing was set at 13 degrees BTDC. I am going to recheck the timing tomorrow to see if that is where its at.

I just filled up with the same gas I have been running in it all along, so the next tank I will switch it up and see if there is a difference.
