I put one in my 65 289, Holly 600 cfm, Cam, Headers. My car was running well but hot, I had a 195 thermostat in and I was changing it back to a 180 and broke a bolt. I then broke the drill bit and decided to buy a new Intake. So I got the Perfromer RPM 7121 up to
6500 RPM's(I previously had the performer 289).Now my car won't idle. Is there somthing that I have to adjust in the carb to work with this manifold? It seems to run will when I give it gas, but it won't idle at all. It sounds like a plug is missing or the timing is off. I tried to reset by ear/feel because you can't do much with the light if it won't idle...
I was wondering if there is a secondary feed from the carb that controls the idle. Eventhough the car ran the previous day, is there something that could have got stuck inside just from the carb being removed and layed on its side with I changed the intake? The carb is only 2 years old.
Any advice would be great.
