Ok, here we go... I have a pretty nasty off-idle stumble/bog accompanied with a backfire when mashing down the throttle from idle. It happens when idling in Park, and when taking off from a stop when in D or 1. I have tried increasing the discharge nozzle size with .035's, and that was no help. The idle air mixture screws are set for maximum manifold vacuum, which comes in at 8 inches when idling in gear at 750 rpm. The timing is set at 10* BTDC, which is the stock specification. This car doesn't seem to be anywhere near it's potential with this combo. (I do have a looser converter and a Silverfox VB waiting to go in.) Any help with figuring this out would be greatly appreciated! Specs are as follows...
