So i got my 350 fired up in my 69, healthy motor, lots of power. Its a 87 tbi motor swapped to carb.I backed it off the lift drove around for 10 mins, was running strong, then it started not wanting to idle. Its got hei, so i checked the timing, it was a good 15 degress, its getting constant fuel. Once the truck dies, the battery will die too and it would need a jump.. I felt my ground wire on the battery, it was SMOKIN hot, the positive was cool though.

Could this issue be an electricle problem? WHAT IS GOING ON?!?! i wanna melt some tires

thanks!
