I have a 72 chevy 350 just recently tuned it up, points, plugs, duell at 30 timing 8degrees top dead center. adjusted carb was real rich.... three turns in....

Now I have a significant problem, truck will start, idol but when i give it gas it stalls or pops back thru carb, and sometimes it doesnt do it at all. any ideas? is it carb or is it something else, vaccum advance is working good. please help!

battery was low on water, I know old battery could a bad battery have something to do with it???
