One more question about my 77 Firebird. It has the 350R engine, the Olds 350. I put an Edelbrock Performer-Plus cam in it. It has a stock turbo 350 and stock torque converter.
How fast should this engine idle with this cam? At .050, the intake lift is .280, exhaust is .295 at the cam. At the valve, the lift is .448 and .472.
I have it idling about 800 or 850 rpm but when I put it in reverse or drive, it will only idle a few seconds then die. I don't think I have any vacuum leaks. How should I set the idle on this car now with the new cam? The engine only had about 40 or 45 mins on it so it's still a little tight, I'm sure.
Thanks, Kerry Finally making progress on the 77 Firebird!
