1979 460 C6 not idling after new carb

Post by Hadarry »

hi there, i have a 1979 ford f150 460 c6 two wheel drive. i have recently installed a 750 edlebrock 1411 with electric choke and a idle to 5500 performer intake manifold. my truck was runnin good , it would kick down properly and the choke would come off. when the truck is warm it does not want to start and when it does it idles extremely low almost stalling if i put it into gear it will not stall and will roll the truck along, when i give it gas the motor runs perfectly with no misses or problems and has good power. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you put a vacuum gage on it? My guess if you have a vacuum leak somewhere.
