i'm thinking about doing the same thing with a 305 with a lopey cam in it.

it's a 90 and i'd be using the stock 350 throttle body that is on it now. should i up the fuel pressure on it or should the smaller cubes be ok with the 350 TBI?

how do i check min idle setting and reset the IAC? sorry i don't know anything about TBI systems.
