thanks for all the replys
this weekend is "work on the charger w/e" some facts, the carb is the edelbrock 1401 or 14xx cant remember, its the same on my challenger and it works great, i dont think its the carb. vacum advance is hooked up, wires are on corrrectly, fuel doesnt seem to be an issue,i have a electric pump, it does pop thru the exhaust though, maybe bad exhaust vavles? i'm leaning towards a bad cam. i'll report my findings this week.
