I am working on a buddy"s 84' c10. A while back his original th350 tranny went out on him and he had it replaced with a 700r4. Then a short time later his original 305 blew on him so he bought a 350 from a salvage yard and asked me to help swap it out. Now with all that said the job is almost completely done with the exception that it dies as soon as its put in gear. It will idle in park just fine if the carb is adjusted just so otherwise it spits out of the carb. I have checked vacuum lines a dozen times since that seems to be the number one cause of such a problem and I have sprayed the carb base and intake manifold with starter fluid but still found no vacuum leaks. When I put the vac gauge on it I'm getting a smooth 19 hg from both carb and manifold ports. I've also tried adjusting the carb according to instructions I've read online. Currently I'm all out of ideas. I would suspect the convertor except he was able to drive the truck over to my house without any stall problems. Basically I'm out of ideas so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Oh and it has a quadrajet carb on it as well in case that is pertinent.

how did you adjust the carb ? explain your procedure.
what is the idle RPM set at ? what is the condition of the fuel vapor hoses at the intake manifold ? what is the timing set at ?
what is the condition of the EGR ? is this 20 yrs old ?
