We just got my '70 Camaro, 350 SB to start for the first time since buying it. However, after it runs for ~45 seconds it wants to die and eventually does, unless I gun it. I suspect the Edelbrock 1405, manual choke, carburetor needs further adjusting.
Does anyone know how to adjust one of these or know where I can find instructions? There are 2 screws on the front-side (for air/fuel mixture adjusting?), as well as the accelerator adjustment screw on the driver side. Any suggestions on how to adjust these? The guy that helped get it running "baselined" the adjustment screws, but is unfamiliar with Edelbrock carbs.
Also, the butterfly is being held open ~ a quarter inch by a wire. How is the butterfly supposed to be connected? Since it is staying open a quarter inch the whole time, could this be causing it to eventually die?
Thanks in advance for any pointers!
