I thought I saw a pic somewhere else where you had your PCV hooked into the intake and brake booster into the carb. Reverse that.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/CHEVY-INLINE-6-C...fb5&vxp=mtr$60. Cheap and works well. The vac advance is adjustable with this one. You use an allen wrench in the vac line hole in the canister and you can change it. I played with mine to get it right. Don't recall the settings. Regardless going this route made a HUGE difference in how mine idles. Smoothed it out a lot.
After all that I also had to go to mid grade gas to keep from pinging.
Hi gbauer,
Well,I've got the vacuum lines all hooked up differently. The upper vacuum line only gets vacuum after idle when the throttle is opened. I'll need to advance more to get idle smooth.
I like the HEI, but I'm really gun-shy of China equipment after a terrible experience with brakes and front end. That seems the only way it could be such a good price. Are any made in USA anymore? Really just looking for quality regardless of where it was made. Look at your broken float arm.
Thanks!!
Mark
