Many things other than the carb can cause the issues you have including bad timing, bad distributor cap, burnt valves, and the list goes on. So take a good look at everything to get a good idea of the overall condition of your new ride. I have 40 series flow masters on my 66 and they sound like crap unless you run a cross over and that takes the bark out of them. I am getting ready to go to 2 into one with 2 1/2" pipe to the union and 3" out through a 50 series flow master. Saw this setup on an engine on my buddies dyno and it made good power and sound.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I meant 350.
I will post some pictures tomorrow.
Ok it will start with 2 pumps of the gas pedal.
I haven't tried it with 1 pump.
I did get the summit racing 3" headers on there.
They are really loud but sound pretty great!
I am thinking of buying a muffler valve that will go from the exhaust pipe and dump out half way through the truck then have the other side of the valve go to a quiet exhaust. Straight pipe when I want the noise, and silent when cruising.
Currently battling the radio cutting off when the volume is up, bought a new stereo today to see if it will help.

Looks like I have a 1980 Cadillac carb.
Tuning the jets seems confusing. I will have to read it over a few times.
I am used to doing jets on Dirtbike's or ATVs, but those are single main jets.
I will probably go with carbs unlimited then.
Just need to see what main jet to get.
Running a k&n filter and sometimes might be straight pipe exhaust or going through a muffler. That might be an issue.
