Hey guys...so, new Edelbrock 750 carb about a year ago... this is where I think the problems started. I've only owned the car for about 1.5 years, but it seemed to run better with the old Carter, which was replaced due to leaking. New plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor. Made sure the electronic ignition box was properly grounded to the firewall (that box and the regulator were never grounded properly). She only bogs and does this in first gear, rest are fairly smooth, but low power overall. All cylinders were recently tested for compression and all were good. Only thing I haven't double checked is timing. Also, on advice from a friend, I re-torqued the intake manifold bolts, on a chance they were loose.
Others have said I may have a vacuum leak somewhere, but I don't have any kind of tester for that, nor know how to do it.
Any help appreciated!
