update...not starving for fuel its spitting back through the carb. i have advanced the timing and retard the timing with dist. and had zero affect on how it ran. maybe time for carb rebuild? idk im stumped...
If you can't fix it with a hammer and a welder then your gonna need a new one!

:brownbag:well i feel like a fn idiot now...:banghead:had it running so good on stand and could not get to drive my bronco like normal cause of spitback in carb...timed retimed several times with vacuum guage and same result under load would not take fuel....had wrong firing order. changed plug wires around and wow... its got plenty of skinny pedal power ....heading to exhaust shop in next week!!!! who would of thought that it would have ran that good on the stand with the wrong firing order!!
