Yea im leaving to go back home(NC) tom night. No more time to fool around with it but yea its the 383, I broke it in at 2500 rpms for 30 minutes but cant get it to idle lower than 1200. The guy who built the motor said the valves are perfect, so im going after either a vacuum leak or a carb/timing issue.
Hei dist with vacuum advance.
