Fired the engine last night, which opened up a bunch of cans of worms. When cranking it sounds like the starter and flywheel and torque converter don't like each other. Something isn't fastened correctly or not at all. It's not getting good fuel even though I added one of them expensive Edelbrock Performer RPM Street Fuel Pumps 1721, so I need to dig in to the supply line and probably just redo it all with 3/8" tubing and -6AN fittings. It ran like absolute crap for the few minutes that I let it run. Pretty sure the carb has issues even though I did tear it apart, blow all the passages with carb clean and new gaskets. Set the idle air screws to 1.5 turns out to start with which is where i've always set them and never had an issue. It was late, i was frustrated so I shut it down, closed up the garage and said "F" it. I feel like I need to pull the engine, get it on a run stand or engine dyno and get it all dialed in then put it back in the car, I think that'll be the plan moving forward. I'm just going to chill and watch football today and forget about it for a while.
