305 Idles good cold, wont do anything warm
Got this 84 camaro from my mom and don't know much about old carbs/GM, hoping someone can help. Right now, I changed the oil, gas, sparks+wires, distributor+rotor. Got it running fine at idle when it's cold, but when it gets warm, it doesn't want to idle or go under power, it'll just bog down. The choke seems fine, closed at cold and opens when it gets warm, it just doesn't want to take power and im not sure why.

Sounds like it's lean. Look for vaccum leaks. That carb may also be varnished up if it's been sitting. Carb rebuild may be all that it needs. It's not as difficult as it seems.
