the truck has a 70 350. LT1 bottom end, with 300 heads(someone care to elaborate on what 300 heads are?) a wiend intake and an edelbrock four barrel with electric choke. anyways the motor will fire but wont' stay running. it bogs way down backfires and dies. if i give it a lot of gas i see two little streams of gas come out of the carb. the last time i tried to start it these streams ingnited causing a nice little fireball. its running really rich and i was wondering if someone could tell me if my problem could be fixed by adjusting the carb and if so could tell me how to adjust it. thanks in advance.
