It's easy to "get through" the stumble. Just give it gas. It's the light throttle where it is noticeable.




what cam? what kind of idle vacuum do you have? the heavier springs will pull you into the rich step on the rods sooner

The problem was simple to fix. My 20 year old vacuum gauge was junk. I was seeing 5" or less of vacuum @ idle. So I installed the lighest step-up springs. Now w/ a new guage I am seeing 10-12" of vacuum. I put back the OE orange springs, and it's just about right. No more hesitation.

Thanks for the help!
