FE 360 not staying running
75 ford
started with 2 Barrel Carb
Upgraded to a 4 Barrel Edlebrock on holley 600
The truck ran fine for the previous weeks.
One night it stumbled going up hill, and it started from there.
Its started fine and runs for 30seconds, and then it stumbles to a idle and dies.
I replaced the Ignition Coil Module, Ignition Coil, ignition cap inside distributor.
The last time i looked at the plugs they looked quite decent without fouling.
Im stumped on why this thing is not running properly.
The next thing i will do is replace the spark plug and set my timing so it doesn't run as rich.

On my Holley, there was two idle mixture screws, one on each side of the bowl. They are very small flat head screws. If I remember, you would turn them all the way in and then back them out 1 and 1/2 turns. This would usually be good enough to run. Then I believe you Turn them out or in together in 1/2 turn increments to achieve the best idle. You might have to adjust your idle speed screw as your idle speed may have changed after that.
