Hello im new to the board I just recently purchased a 1978 chevy short bed custom deluxe 2wd it has a small block 350 th350. I have been searching all over for messageboards to find a palce to ask questions and this one looks really good and a real tight group here.

I found my truck on a car lot the guy wanted $2000 for it and i picked it up for $1700. the truck is in pretty good shape. I will have to get some pics of her up to show you the conditon. i have pulled the manifold and carb off it was to much for the engine. it originally had a edlebrock streetmaster manifold with a holley carb im not sure what the cfm is for the carb but when i would get up on it the valves rattled and it was terrible. so i put a edlebrock 2101 non egr performer with a edelbrock 650cfm and it runs alot better. I am having some problems with the engine missing at a idle and its got me stumped it runs smooth as can be when i drive it. if you have any ideas what could be the problem im all eyes.lol Oh i have timed the engine to 8degress BTC.

Also the streetmaster manifold has the hole in the front for the old oil tube. I want to sell it but need to know how much its possibly worth.

Well i hope to be on here alot and hope you guiys can help me out. i will be restoring my truck over time as much as i can afford and do.

Thanks MSL
