Bad idle
1977 F-150,460,C-6,Motorcraft 5bbl carb,new wires,new plugs gapped at 55,new dist.cap and rotor,timing set from 14btdc to 6b,vacuum at intake is a very steady 20 lbs. The idle is extremly rough and when you raise rpm about 500 the engine levels off.From 20up to 75mph everything sounds and feels real good and smooth.What has me befuddled is the vacuum staying steady at idle. With a bad miss should'nt the gauge flutuate? The engine has about 85,000 on it. One other thing. This does not have an EGR plate, should it? Iwas told the truck was bone stock. Thanks for any help and opinions.
