Just finished replacing my distributor and cc-Qjet with a vacuum advanced distributor and edelbrock 600 cfm (manual choke, manual secondaries)
Once the new lines and fuel bowls filled with fuel she started right up and purred like a kitten. Ran and reved great in park, but when I took her out for a ride it was a little rough.. when sitting in drive the car shakes pretty hard, and also when in low speeds (5-10 mph). The carb came from a 350, i rebuilt it but didn't change any settings, rods, etc... I'm not sure if the previous owner did anything to it. I don't have any papers or books to go with it so i'm not sure what screws do what.
Seeing as it came off a 350 I'd asume its just running rich, but i'm not sure and don't know how to change it.. Can you help me out here?

well i messed with the screws a little today, had little to almost no effect... i also noticed when starting off of at low throttle it shudders from 500 - 750 rpm and from 750 - 1250 rpm the motor kinda pulses but anything after that and it seems to run fine..
What do you think is up with it?
