I had to change out the intake manifold and carb. That old 2 bbl was giving me too much trouble, hard to start, popping/coughing on acceleration, unstable idle etc....
Now it lights right off.
I have to modify the throttle cable and kick down bracket to work properly and I still have to work on the bog issue but that will be for another time.
