Car use to start until I finished the exhaust?
1984 camaro with 305 engine in it. It ran good when I had headers on it, I go and put a 2.5inch true dual exhaust with glasspacks and now it has trouble starting. When it does start my vacuum is less than 10 and the idle is extremly rough. After maybe a second or 2 it stalls unless I hold the gas down. Any suggestion?

First thing that comes to mind is exhaust leak. That, or someone screwd something up on your engine.
Does it have trouble starting warm and cold? Or just one or the other? It always idles rough or only warm/cold?
