Hi guys, i have a 1979 chevy k10 with a sbc 350 engine nothing crazy just has long tube headers, dual exhuast (2.25") to 3.5" tips. i have a edelbrock performer (not sure what one) and i have a lovely Holley street avenger 4-bbl carb 670 cfm part number 80670-3
So what is going on is whoever i got this truck from back in november never hooked the choke up for me and i didnt have a problem with it till now, I am going thru this truck and have done alot to it and going to keep doing alot to it but this has aggravated me.
I figured out that the choke was left in the on position 24/7 meaning she will start right up but run real rich and cause black soot to be left anywhere my exhuast is. I didnt like that so i went ahead and finally hooked the choke up. my choke spring i believe is broken because i cannot get it to go on they way it should with the tabs up so the mark on the cap alines with the markes for making adjustments. this is an elec choke btw. So i did it the best i could to wear choke is down before i start then after it almost fully opens to where it should.
when choke was left on the truck would run pretty good only spit and sputter from time to time but not too often.
now Truck takes a bit to start tho gotta hammer down for a bit then it will idle fine, go slow she drives fine, go hammer down and balls out she runs fine. try to let off and just cruise she wants to burp and be fuzzy like its not getting enough fuel or to much air? any help will be appreciated!
