350sbc pops and spits under load

[JointTech]

so i just saw it has an edelbrock intake
looks like GM 2bbl carb.
any idea what the weeping goo hole on the front is for? Looks like it has silicon coming out.


plug wires look like garbage but I can see they labeled each one when they took them off for the headers.
( as a side note $150 headers are really garbage. The paint is all burned off after a total of 3 miles lol) good times riding home with it popping and smoking all the paint and new pipe smell.
Those Cherrybomb vortex look sweet under there but I think Midas did a halfass job making everything pretty. And they beat up one muffler some it looks like.
