68, bad idle



Assuming you have the normal intake manifold supplied with the AVS
carburetors, one side of the carburetor supplies cylinders 2 cylinders on
the right side and two on the left, while the other side supplies the other
cylinders.   Your problem is more likely a vacuum leak at your intake
gasket, or a plugged heat riser valve.
