Re: 350sbc pops and spits under load

the engine ran fine before taking it in. Fired up barely turning the key on the first spin.
They installed the headers and mufflers and new pipe. This morning it was cold (60 is cold in socal) and it seemed sluggish to turn over. low batteryish. And then it ran poppy/spitty on the way home.
Ill run check the plug wires now.
I figured the slow crank was cold plus the fact that it hasnt run for more than 2 minutes other than the 15mile trip home, so maybe the alternator hasnt had time to kick the battery.
