carbed 350 dies in reverse

my camaro dies in reverse unless it is totally up to running temperature. i can tell it is running really rich and other than that, it sounds fine in neutral but still idles rough, then i put it in reverse and it kills, time after time.

i have searched and have only found "dies in reverse" reguarding tpi and tbi cars and only on one carbed engine and that didnt answer my question.
