rough start
 
hey everyone, i've got 77 crewcab with a 292-6. i go to start it up in the morning and it starts up fine but after about 5 sec. it starts to lope or idle like a harley, real slow like. then after about 5 mins. or so of running it starts to run smooth. could it be the timing is out or something? all vacuum lines are hooked up. i changed plugs sun. and one wire was white (metal connector) on the dist. end, could that be another reason? any info would be helpful. thanks

Check your choke. Sounds like it's closed to far at start up. Should be adjustable. Show us a pic of your carb so we can diagnose it.
