Help please
I just got my car done 350 is in, only thing it rumbles when I accelerate.
It idles at 500-750 rpm and the SES light came on after driving for half an hour.
How do I check the code with a pin, I forget.
Im using the old O/2 sensor from the 305, would that matter?
Any ideas what the cause is, maby timing?

Likely that old o2 sensor. Those things don't like to be handled much. 305 or 350 o2 makes no difference. Same part. You might have a vac leak causing it to run lean.
Wouldn't hurt to check your timing but I don't think thats it. I put my money on the o2.

Yes it could cause all kinds of strange things. It's the most important sensor on the whole engine. If it's reporting back bad data, it will make the engine do all sorts of weird things.
