Ok guys, new ignition switch wired in with new key/barrel. 1973RR. Wiring is like for like in the connector block. Motor spins over on ACC1 position which is one stage too early. Instead of dash lights/stereo lighting up the motor cranks on first switched position. Anyone come across this? Lots...

thanks for the ideas, all. I will remove the carb and check everything at gasket level.Pretty sure that earlier today when I put my hands over the top of the carb to starve it the idle dropped but didnt kill the motor. Ive even run the car in the dark to see if any of the leads are cross firing...

Just to check, the Edelbrock carb has 3 vac ports, 2 at the front and a large (currently plugged) one at the rear?

Thanks guys, I have checked all vacuum connections and can find no leaks. the booster is 'dead' so I have temporarily blanked off the port from the manifold. If I turn the idle screws in the car will stall. I tried tuning with a vacuum gauge and could only pull 10" at best with the car idling in...

if the convertor was screwed, wouldn't there be other symptoms? Timing is 16 degrees intitial I've tried setting carb with vacuum and however mixture is set the I problem prevails. Ive built two 360 motors from scratch and never had such a problem.

TC? Convertor is stock, not high stall so I ruled that out. Could be the distributor, are there any obvious symptoms to look for? Im going to swap in the distributor from my 318 truck tomorrow to try and asses that angle.

Hi guys, I'm having a heck of a problem simply getting my car to idle correctly. Its a fresh built 340 motor and I have replaced all of the following; New Edelbrock 600 V/S new spark leads new distributor cap and rotar arm rebuilt distributor checking vacuum advance is correct new coil new spark...

Thanks for that info. I do have the battery to engine to chassis earth, but I'm going to add the braided addition too. After all, my 74 Dart had that and few if any electrical problems.

Guys, i'm chasing an ignition stumble and noted that my 73 'Runner has no braided earth strap from cylinder head to firewall. It has the usual strap from drivers side cylinder head to battery negative. Should I add the extra strap?
