Q-Jet Misbehavin'. Why? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well, after adjusting my carb to where she seems to run ok ... she's still a little finicky. She tends to want to idle high until I "reset" by goosing the throttle, in gear. There's little or no smoking or pinging so I'm pretty close anyway. Any ideas? I'm also getting sh*t MPG, about 9 or 10 where I used to get 13. Could the Torker manifold be to blame? It's a 350 with a mild cam and I think the carb is a 650, not sure on that one. When I swapped motors, I just cleaned the carb up a bit and readjusted, no kit or anything. Any help would be appreciated.
