    ECU orange box

    -maybe check the float levels of the carb... needle/seat going bad, letting extra gas thru? -carb throttle linkage or butterflies hanging up, causing them to stay a little open? -might still be a vacuum leak hiding somewhere, maybe on the carb near throttle shaft area. I know on Holley's the...

    1968 Hemi

    nice charger! For the idle drop, first thoughts that come to mind is possibly a vacuum leak? Maybe timing is off? Should get out the timing light and see what's going on... at that high of an idle in park, maybe the centrifugal advance could be operating--> idle drops when put in gear --->...
