With many of us upgrading to HEI, a common problem seems to arise if you try to run at factory specs realtive to timing. Apparently a basic stock 350 likes it's timing to be around 12 degrees advanced with an HEI. Two fairly stock 350 blocks had show a big imrpovement with that little change from the stock settings. So, if your 350 with HEI and a stock carb or even an Edlebrock carb is running kind of punney, try advancing you dist to around 12-14 degrees and see what I mean!!! Huck
