I have to have carb screws two turns out. And I have to have the timing set off the gauge. Probably at 16 are 18. Can not turn it any more to the right. That's the best I can get it at idle without dying. As fare as I know the 350 is an 87 to 95 year. With a stock 1974 intake and four barrel. Electric fuel pump around 4 pounds. The motor has a bigger cam not sure how big. When it's cold, lot of power. Warms up. Looses power on the start off. If I go three turns out with carb jets I get a lot more power but smells pretty rich. If I turn down timing it back fires. Spark plugs set around .38 Never had this much trouble tuning before. I might need to re-stab distributed and get a bigger gap on plugs. What do y'all think. Can use some help.

I can't help with the carb part of your tuning. What octane fuel are you using? also is the dizzy an esc?

what carb do you have? and are you running an HEI distributor? vacuum advance?
