Thanks Britcon, I did replace the plug wires and boots with no change.
Hotrod Lincoln, I believe this motor is pre-EGR. I may swap out the carb and manifold to see if that makes a difference. I would really like to solve the problem but if I can't, I have a good running 283 that can go in with a little work. I just need to drill the intake manifold to take the vacuum fitting for the auto trans and get an adapter to hook that 283 to the trans so that I have a starter mount. The 283 that I have uses the bell housing starter mounting.
I still hope I can get this one to run decent though.
