Engine Hesitation?
Well, the 350 has been in my truck for a week now. It runs pretty good except for a hesitation. If I smoothly accelerate, it generally does ok.
If I romp on it a little harder, it tends to misfireas if a spark plug isn't connected I suppose. The engine quiets down and fights for gas and if I don't handle the situation right, it can actually stall completely. This happens especially early morning, when it's cold outside. The intake manifold is stock, I haven't even touched it, and I don't hear any vacuum leaks. The Holley Street Avenger on top of it is on correctly and tightly. I've been informed that Holleys tend to be too lean for a 350 and the jets need replacing. Does anyone agree with this? Also, the distributor is fine, fuel filters are new, carb adjustments are correct, and I have not had any previous fuel travelling problems with the 6cyl that was in there.
