Quote: I checked it & I have no vac on the pass port and full (~18 in hg) on the drivers side. This is at idle at ~600 or so rpm
Ok it sounds like I have a defective carb then. I'll give Edelbrock's Tech support a call to see if they know what could cause this and if it can be repaired (either by me or a carb shop), otherwise it looks like I'm in the market for a new carb...
David,take the carb off and with the idle screw seated on the tang on the throttle shaft (the way it is now) and off the fast idle cam see if the throttle plates are above the transfer slot.If they are I would go back to your timing,I really don't think you have enough,a little more initial may surprise you.
