351W erratic idle and loping
I have a '73 Bronco that I just swapped in a 351W. I bored it .30 with flat top pistons, P&P the heads with full roller rockers, balanced and blueprinted and an RV cam. I also installed the Edelbrock Pro-Flo MPI Fuel injection system that included an MSD distributor. Also in there is the MSD 6 off road box and Blaster 2 coil.
7At idle, the engine will run smooth for about 5-7 seconds, then drop about 500 rpm, then run up about 250 rpm above idle, then repeat. When it is cold, it will stall when the rpm drops until it warms up.
I was pointing fingers at the Edelbrock system, but my neighbor has done about the same exact things to his 351W, except he did a stock Ford fuel injection and he is having the same issues.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
