im running the same carb on my stock 350. I also had same issues in the start with this carb.
Added a pressure regulator set to 5.5lbs, this is a must from every thing i researched.
confirmed my vacume advance was working, I have mine connected to intake vacume port.
I fixed my intake bolt vacume leaks, this prevented me from making mixture adjustments at idle, your going to need a vacume gauge connected to see what the engine is doing at idle.
I rejetted carb to factory manual choke specs, which is a little richer.

My truck runs really good now. At first I wanted to throw this carb in the trash.
