Pulling my hair out!
I have a 440 cross ram in my 62 Belvedere making a clone 413 nostalgia straight axle car. I finally got it running with new Edebrock E Street Alum heads and Comp 23-227-4 cam.
Adv Dur Int 275 Exh 287
Dur @.050 231 & 237
Lift .525 .525
Lobe Sep 110.0
It runs really strong but will not idle. I was told this was a mild cam for street and strip. It will not idle at less than 1500 rpm and I have to keep a foot on the brake and one on the gas when at a stop and in gear. I put a new 2800 stall converter in it. Do any of these things sound wrong to anyone?
Being a converted mopar nut, I am really lost on how to tune this engine and my engine builder is a holley carb guy, so he is no help. I have changed the jets and metering rods and springs to no avail.
I am just digging a hole at this point and need all the help I can get. Edelbrock said they could not help either.
