One comment was that I might have a vacuum leak.

I think my carbs are pulling only 3-4 lbs vacuum.

Is that too low?

I would like to put my engine builder in touch with someone who really has experience with cross ram dual quad intakes as I am in over my head. 

thanks

Pulling my hair out!

I have a 440 cross ram in my 62 Belvedere making a clone 413 nostalgia  straight axle car. I finally got it running with new Edebrock E Street Alum heads and Comp 23-227-4 cam. 

Adv Dur Int 275 Exh 287

Dur @.050 231 & 237

Lift .525 .525

Lobe Sep 110.0

It runs really strong but will not idle. I was told this was a mild cam for street and strip. It will not idle at less than 1500 rpm and I have to keep a foot on the brake and one on the gas when at a stop and in gear. I put a new 2800 stall converter in it. Do any of these things sound wrong to anyone?

Being a converted mopar nut, I am really lost on how to tune this engine and my engine builder is a holley carb guy, so he is no help. I have changed the jets and metering rods and springs to no avail. 

I am just digging a hole at this point and need all the help I can get. Edelbrock said they could not help either.
