I got it!
Runs like a sewing machine now.
It was waaaay off, I'm literally suprised the thing was even starting.
Idle was set too high, timing was retarded by 1\2 an inch.
So after doing the flash light trick with the engine off I found a good spot by the fan shroud BD mentioned.
Basically, the original 305 that's in the truck was TBI. I have a roller 350 in the machine shop getting punched out and prepped for a 383 build.
But I couldn't just let the old girl sit like this.
Being that I was prepping the truck for a carb (fuel pressure reg \ rigging the fuel pump relay \ converting it to a 1 wire HEI) I figured why mess with the TBI electronics which was causing it to run like shyte I'd just go ahead and throw an intake on it and roll out.
Now it's completely wired and piped in for the 383 when I finish building it.
Here's some pictures of the little lady.
Engine bay image is several days behind but I'll post up the finished product tomorrow since I'll be off work and have enough time to finish buttoning up the wiring, etc.
