Re: 305 to 350 swap
General withdom is if you did a cam, you need either new chip or DIY re-flash.... Post your question on DIY chip forum or on swap forum. You'll get much better responce over there. But before you do, search around there's a good chance you'll find answer on one of those forums

Check your fuel pressure!
if your using the fuel pump on the block from the 68 *6psi and the 14psi pump in tank you will have a issue.....
If i were you, drop the tank remove fuel pump replace it with rubber hose - 3/8 cut to size of pump and a hose clamp.
Put mechanical pump on block and run a carb / hei.
(dont forget to block off return lines and drill hole in gas cap for a vent)
