355 tpi rough idle on start up

Ok so i got my 355 tpi up an running but it runs terrible i see that i have a fuel leak at the fuel injector right at number one an eight but i think timing is off as well even though i marked it on the harmonic balancer an the distributor what did i do wrong ??? Also am i suppose to disconnect the single brown black wire near the ac box when setting timing or do i leave it connected

Yes, you disconnect that connector to set the timing.

Are you sure the plug wires are in the correct spot?

Are you running a stock chip?

Depending on what you have in your 355, you got to expect its going to run rough before you tune it.

Re: 355 tpi rough idle on start up

Depending on how big your cam is will determine how much tuning you will need done. Unfortunately, there are very few shops that can tune these cars. Your best bet is to go over to the tuning section and read a TON on how to tune. Then get a ALDL cable, do some datalogging and tune yourself.
