Ok I'll give it a shot

Yes

I have an hei distributor, could advancing still happen? But, I'll check.

So I think I'm coming back to one of my prevous assumptions. I think the carb is flooding itself. Sounds like it's muffled, but only at a certain point. Would a high throttle cause the fuel to be rich, flood, or back fire? Is it possible to back fire when the mixture is too lean?

I don't think that serial number is going to be much help. Look at about the 3rd or 4th post on this link: http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f12/engine-serial-number-748501/

Yah if that block is the original, *fingers crossed*

I'm sick of this eldelbrock bs, I think I'm going to go out and get a Carter afb! But before I do that, I'm not very carb savvy.does the choke constantly need to be adjusted or just twice, when starting and then set to sweet spot?

Help??

And if only I was a billionaire lol

I didn't check the timing but it seems to be running fine now and kinda drivable. However, I drive it and it tries to quit. Like the carburetor immediately steps down in the amount of fuel it is delivering. No matter how much gas I'm giving it, it will continue to slowly decrease fuel delivery...

you need to check for the vin number. its on the firewall in the engine bay on the drivers side, it may be hard to read but its there. once you get that there is a vin decoder on this site under the site map tab at the top.

Nah, it's all pretty easy.

Sounds like it is an electrical. I too have a similar set up. Check your grounds and the connections on the resistor. Also, you may have a dysfunctional coil. By the way, how old is the distributor? So it sounds like an electrical problem but are there any noises that follow or come with the...

You still looking for an amc 360? I've got one if you are intrested. It's all built and everything, make the job a little easier!

So still having the same problem. Do you think that throwing the clutch would throw off my timing?

Yah I have been told to check it. But since I don't have the thing to test it, I have been trying to avoid having to do it. Lol

But if I increase the fuel mixture I'll be too rich when im in the low rpms and idling. So it's gotta be something else. Right?

I really do have two mixture screws. How could it be starving at high rpm? Do you mean that my idling throttle is too low?

What do you mean by "on the high end"?

today I did adjust the accellerator plunger. I moved it to the end hole and that seemed to work very well. hey SteelHeadz i dont want to be a pain in the azz but would you be able to get measurements of your throttle and your 2 mixture screws?
